Fundamental Groups of One-dimensional Spaces
Let X be a metrizable one-dimensional continuum. In the present paper we describe the fundamental group of X as a subgroup of its Čech homotopy group. In particular, the elements of the Čech homotopy group are represented by sequences of words. Among these sequences the elements of the fundamental group are characterized by a simple stabilization condition. This description of the fundamental g...
متن کاملOn the Fundamental Groups of One–dimensional Spaces
We study the fundamental group of one–dimensional spaces. Among the results we prove are that the fundamental group of a second countable, connected, locally path connected, one–dimensional metric space is free if and only if it is countable if and only if the space has a universal cover and that the fundamental group of a compact, one–dimensional, connected metric space embeds in an inverse li...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Gap and One-Dimensional Collapse
This equation arises from physics by separating the time and space variables in the wave equation, and the eigenvalues correspond to the frequencies of standing waves on Ω. The set of all eigenvalues is known as the spectrum. Based on the physical interpretation Marc Kac posed the now well-known question, “Can one hear the shape of a drum?” [21]. The mathematical formulation is: if two Euclidea...
متن کاملParabolic Groups Acting on One-dimensional Compact Spaces
Given a class of compact spaces, we ask which groups can be maximal parabolic subgroups of a relatively hyperbolic group whose boundary is in the class. We investigate the class of 1-dimensional connected boundaries. We get that any non-torsion infinite f.g. group is a maximal parabolic subgroup of some relatively hyperbolic group with connected one-dimensional boundary without global cut point...
متن کاملA Survey on Spaces of Homomorphisms to Lie Groups
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups G, and to describe their connections to classical representation theory, as well as other structures. Various properties are given when G is replaced by a small category, or the discrete group is given by a right-angled Artin group.
