By an $n$-Hawaiian like space $X$ we mean the natural inverse limit, $\displaystyle{\varprojlim (Y_i^{(n)},y_i^*)}$, where $(Y_i^{(n)},y_i^*)=\bigvee_{j\leq i}(X_j^{(n)},x_j^*)$ is the wedge of $X_j^{(n)}$'s in which $X_j^{(n)}$'s are…

The purpose of this paper is to explore properties of the whisker topology, which is a topology endowed on the fundamental group and whose utility is to detect locally complicated phenomena in pathological topological spaces. We show that…

We show the classical $\pi_1$-action on the $n$-th homotopy group can fail to be continuous for any $n$ when the homotopy groups are equipped with the natural quotient topology. In particular, we prove the action…

We construct a space $\mathbb{P}$ for which the canonical homomorphism $\pi_1(\mathbb{P},p) \rightarrow \check{\pi}_1(\mathbb{P},p)$ from the fundamental group to the first \v{C}ech homotopy group is not injective, although it has all of…

We show that the first homology group of a locally connected compact metric space is either uncountable or is finitely generated. This is related to Shelah's well-known result which shows that the fundamental group of such a space satisfies…

According to seminal work of Kontsevich, the unstable homology of the mapping class group of a surface can be computed via the homology of a certain lie algebra. In a recent paper, S. Morita analyzed the abelianization of this lie algebra,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group that admits an essential measurable splitting (for instance, any group measure equivalent to a free product of nontrivial groups). We show: (1) for any two nontrivial countable groups $B$ and $C$ that are…

We determine the ring structure of the loop homology of some global quotient orbifolds. We can compute by our theorem the loop homology ring with suitable coefficients of the global quotient orbifolds of the form $[M/G]$ for $M$ being some…

It is shown that a nonmetrizable ANR-space of weight $\tau > \omega$, admitting a group structure, is (topologically) an $\text{\f R}^{\tau}$-manifold.

The quasitopological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{qtop}(X,x_0)$ is the fundamental group endowed with the natural quotient topology inherited from the space of based loops and is typically non-discrete when $X$ does not admit a traditional…

A braided generalization of the concept of Hopf algebra (quantum group) is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely pointless objects. All…

We prove the existence of topological rings in (0,2) theories containing non-anomalous left-moving U(1) currents by which they may be twisted. While the twisted models are not topological, their ground operators form a ring under…

We compare the homology groups $H_n ^{IC}(X)$ of the chain complex of integral currents with compact support of a metric space $X$ with the singular Lipschitz homology $H^L_n (X)$ and with ordinary singular homology. If $X$ satisfies…

In this paper we investigate hereditarily normal topological groups and their subspaces. We prove that every compact subspace of a hereditarily normal topological group is metrizable. To prove this statement we first show that a…

In this paper, we show that every topological group is a strong small loop transfer space at the identity element. This implies that the quasitopological fundamental group of a connected locally path connected topological group is a…

If a Peano continuum $X$ is semilocally simply connected, then it has a finite polyhedral approximation whose fundamental group is isomorphic to that of $X$. In general, this fails to be true. It is known that the fundamental group of a…

We revisit the problem of isospectral spherical space forms with non-cyclic fundamental groups after the works by Ikeda, Gilkey and Wolf. We find the first pair of spherical space forms with non-isomorphic fundamental groups and the same…

The problem in question is whether the quotient space of a compact linear group is a topological manifold and whether it is a homological manifold. In the paper, the case of an infinite group with commutative connected component is…

Haar measure is a fundamental structure in harmonic analysis on locally compact groups. Its existence reflects the compatibility between topology and the associative algebraic structure of groups. In this paper we propose a framework for…

We prove that spaces of Keplerian curvilinear orbits, all orbits and elliptic orbits with marked pericenter cannot carry a norm, compatible with their standard topology. We also prove that the space of Keplerian elliptic orbits without…
