Semi-locally simply connected - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | In mathematics, in particular topology, a topological space X is called semi-locally simply connected if every point x in X has a neighborhood U such that the homomorphism from the fundamental group of U to the fundamental group of X, induced by the inclusion map of U into X, is trivial. |
 | | Evidently, a space that is locally simply connected is semi-locally simply connected. |
 | | An example of a space that is not semi-locally simply connected is the Hawaiian earring: the union of the circles in the Euclidean plane with centers (1/n, 0) and radii 1/n, for n a natural number. |
