Simply connected space

In topology, a topological space is called simply connected (or 1-connected, or 1-simply connected) if it is path-connected and every path between two points can be continuously transformed (intuitively for embedded spaces, staying within the space) into any other such path while preserving the two endpoints in question. The fundamental group of a topological space is an indicator of the failure for the space to be simply connected: a path-connected topological space is simply connected if and only if its fundamental group is trivial. (Wikipedia).

Connectedness

In this video, I define connectedness, which is a very important concept in topology and math in general. Essentially, it means that your space only consists of one piece, whereas disconnected spaces have two or more pieces. I also define the related notion of path-connectedness. Topology

What are Connected Graphs? | Graph Theory

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr

Sergio Zamora (1/20/23): The lower semi-continuity of \pi_1 and nilpotent structures in persistence

When a sequence of compact geodesic spaces X_i converges to a compact geodesic space X, under minimal assumptions there are surjective morphisms $\pi_1(X_i) \to \pi_1(X)$ for i large enough. In particular, a limit of simply connected spaces is simply connected. This is clearly not true for
