%0 Journal Article %T The topological Hawaiian earring group does not embed in the inverse limit of free groups %A Paul Fabel %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %R 10.2140/agt.2005.5.1585 %X Endowed with natural topologies, the fundamental group of the Hawaiian earring continuously injects into the inverse limit of free groups. This note shows the injection fails to have a continuous inverse. Such a phenomenon was unexpected and appears to contradict results of another author. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0501482v3
