Fundamental groups of compact Hausdorff spaces

Algebraic Topology 2007-05-23 v1 General Topology

Abstract

We discuss which groups can be realized as the fundamental groups of compact Hausdorff spaces. In particular, we prove that the claim ``every group can be realized as the fundamental group of a compact Hausdorff space'' is consistent with the Zermelo - Fraenkel - Choice set theory.
