We explore conditions under which $p_*(\\pi_1^{qtop}(X,x_0))$ is dense in $\\pi_1^{qtop}(X/A,*))$, where the fundamental groups enjoy the natural quotient topology inherited from the loop space and $p_*$ is the induced continuous homomorphism by the quotient map $p$. Also, we give some applications to find out some properties for $\\pi_1^{qtop}(X/A,*)$. In particular, we give some conditions in which $\\pi_1^{qtop}(X/A,*)$ is an indiscrete topological group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-04-03T11:10:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55P65", "55Q52", "55Q70" ], "keywords": [ "topological fundamental groups", "quotient spaces", "quotient map", "fundamental groups enjoy", "natural quotient topology" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1105.4009T" } } }
