%0 Journal Article %T A characterization of spaces with discrete topological fundamental group %A Paul Fabel %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %X We offer a counterexample to a theorem in the literature and then repair the theorem as follows: The fundamental group of a locally path connected metric space inherits the discrete topology in a natural way if and only if the underlying space is semilocally simply connected. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0502249v1
