We offer a counterexample to a theorem in the literature and then repair the theorem as follows: The fundamental group of a locally path connected metric space inherits the discrete topology in a natural way if and only if the underlying…

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…

We exhibit a map f between aspherical spaces X and Y such that f induces an isomorphism on homotopy groups but, with natural topologies, X and Y fail to have homeomorphic fundamental groups. Thus the topological fundamental group has the…

The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a homotopy invariant finer than the usual fundamental group. It assigns to each space a quasitopological group and is discrete on spaces which admit universal covers. For an arbitrary…

We show that the fundamental groupoid~\(\Pi_1(X)\) of a locally path connected semilocally simply connected space~\(X\) can be equipped with a \emph{natural} topology so that it becomes a topological groupoid; we also justify the necessity…

We show that the natural algebraic structure of the singular chains on a path connected topological space determines the fundamental group functorially. Moreover, we describe a notion of weak equivalence for the relevant algebraic structure…

We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…

It is important to classify covering subgroups of the fundamental group of a topological space using their topological properties in the topologized fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce and study some topologies on the fundamental…

This paper is devoted to the study of a natural group topology on the fundamental group which remembers local properties of spaces forgotten by covering space theory and weak homotopy type. It is known that viewing the fundamental group as…

It is well-known that a homomorphism p between topological groups K, G is a covering homomorphism if and only if p is an open epimorphism with discrete kernel. In this paper we generalize this fact, in precisely, we show that for a…

D. K. Biss (Topology and its Applications 124 (2002) 355-371) introduced the topological fundamental group and presented some interesting basic properties of the notion. In this article we intend to extend the above notion to homotopy…

The fundamental bigroupoid of a topological space is one way of capturing its homotopy 2-type. When the space is semilocally 2-connected, one can lift the construction to a bigroupoid internal to the category of topological spaces, as Brown…

We show that every homomorphism from a one-dimensional Peano continuum to a planar Peano continuum is induced by a continuous map up to conjugation. We then prove that the topological structure of the space of points at which a planar Peano…

A homomorphism from a completely metrizable topological group into a free product of groups whose image is not contained in a factor of the free product is shown to be continuous with respect to the discrete topology on the range. In…

We introduce the concept of a topological J-group and determine for many important examples of topological groups if they are topological J-groups or not. Besides other results, we show that the underlying topological space of a pathwise…

For a path connected, locally path connected and semilocally simply connected space $X$, let $\Pi_1(X)$ denote its topologised fundamental groupoid as established in the first article of this series. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the category of…

The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a topological invariant that assigns to each space a quasi-topological group and is discrete on spaces which are well behaved locally. For a totally path-disconnected, Hausdorff, unbased…

A compact K\"ahler manifold is shown to be simply-connected if its `symmetric cotangent algebra' is trivial. Conjecturally, such a manifold should even be rationally connected. The relative version is also shown: a proper surjective…

Groups of almost upper triangular infinite matrices with entries indexed by integers are studied. It is shown that, when the matrices are over a finite field, these groups admit a nondiscrete totally disconnected, locally compact group…

In this study, the soft usual topology compatible with the usual topology of $\mathbb{R}$ is defined, and using its subspace topology on the interval $[0,1]$, the concept of a soft path is introduced. Within this context, the notions of…
