THE COMBINATORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE HAWAIIAN EARRING GROUP March 30, 1999

چکیده
In this paper we study the combinatorial structure of the Hawaiian earring group, by showing that it can be represented as a group of transfinite words on a countably infinite alphabet exactly analogously to the representation of a finite rank free group as finite words on a finite alphabet. We define a big free group similarly as the group of transfinite words on given set, and study their group theoretic structure.

The Big Fundamental Group, Big Hawaiian Earrings, and the Big Free Groups
In this second paper in a series of three we generalize the notions of fundamental group and Hawaiian earring . In the first paper [CC1] we generalized the notion of free group to that of a big free group. In the current article we generalize the notion of fundamental group by defining the big fundamental group of a topological space. We also describe big Hawaiian earrings, which are generaliza...
متن کاملFundamental 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 کاملPredicting Solubility of Isotactic Poly (1-Butene) in Different Organic Solvents by Modified UNIQUAC
The UNIQUAC activity coefficient model is extended to predict solid-liquid equilibrium of isotactic crystalline poly (1-butene), iPBu-1, in different organic solvents. The UNIQUAC activity coefficient model used in this work is based on the concept of group contribution and consists of combinatorial, residual and free volume terms. To account for branching of atom groups in the monomer structur...
متن کاملSome combinatorial aspects of finite Hamiltonian groups
In this paper we provide explicit formulas for the number of elements/subgroups/cyclic subgroups of a given order and for the total number of subgroups/cyclic subgroups in a finite Hamiltonian group. The coverings with three proper subgroups and the principal series of such a group are also counted. Finally, we give a complete description of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of a finite H...
متن کاملDoes the Appendix Location Change During Pregnancy?
Background: Early diagnosis of appendicitis is important during pregnancy. Unlike omentom, cecum and appendix are not likely to be displaced by the growing uterus, so the concept of position change of the appendix during pregnancy is questionable. Objective: To determine the anatomical location of appendix during pregnancy. Methods: In a prospective study from October 1995 to March 1999, 291 w...
