Homotopy groups of symmetric products

Algebraic Topology 2023-11-08 v1

Abstract

In this paper we prove that, taking XX a Hausdorff topological space, the homotopy groups of the spaces SPm(X)SP_{m}(X) and Fm(X)F_{m}(X), both called symmetric products, are monomorphic. We also introduce a new algebraic tool in topology: the discontinuous homotopy groups.
