Abstract
It is shown that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the triple cone. More generally if is a cardinal such that then the -fold cone has the same fundamental group as the double cone. The isomorphisms produced are non-constructive, and no isomorphism between the fundamental group of the - and of the -fold cones, with , can be realized via continuous mappings. We also prove a conjecture of James W. Cannon and Gregory R. Conner which states that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the harmonic archipelago.
