Talk:Bouquet of circles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Wedge sum/product
I would say that the bouquet is a special case of the wedge sum, not of the wedge product, as it is mentioned in the current version of the entry. (I'm not familiar with the latter, so I haven't made any changes.) --Kompik 12:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe that if you're defining a bouquet of circles to be their wedge sum, then the bouquet of infinitely many circles isn't the Hawaiian earring; isn't it instead a CW complex with one vertex and countably infinitely many 1-cells? This space does, in fact, have fundamental group which is free on countably infinitely many generators. BarrySimington 21:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
