Big fundamental groups: generalizing homotopy and big homotopy

Algebraic Topology 2016-02-16 v3

Abstract

The concept of big homotopy theory was introduced by J. Cannon and G. Conner using big intervals of arbitrarily large cardinality to detect big loops. We find, for each space, a canonical cardinal that is sufficient to detect all big loops and all big homotopies in the space.
