    Diagonal Linear Operator T in L(H): Examples

    I am trying to find an example of a diagonal linear operator T in L(H) H is hilbert space that is bounded but not compact and also one which is compact but not Hilbert-Schmidt. any Ideas?? Where diagonal means Ten=§en where § is the eigenvalue and en is on orthonormal basis.

    Fundamental Group of (X,p): D^2\{(x,0) : 0<=x<=1}

    Ok thanks I get that as I thought. I am trying to show that the fundamental group of a product of Topological Spaces is isomorphic to the product of fundamental groups: pi1(X x Y , (p,q)) -> pi1(X,p) x pi1(Y,q) I can understand this but want to construct the isomorphism and am...

    Fundamental Group of (X,p): D^2\{(x,0) : 0<=x<=1}

    I am doing some revision and trying to do fundamental groups and I was wondering if the fundamental group of the following space is {1} i.e. all loops based p are homotopic. fundamental group of (X,p) = D^2\{(x,0) : 0<=x<=1} where p=(-1,0)

    Connected Spaces: Disjoint Unions & Inf Sets

    Can a disconnected space be a disjoint union of two infinite sets? Must the disjoint subspaces be finite?

    Understanding Well-Founded Sets

    I am struggling to properly understand the concept of a well-founded set. Is this well founded, d = {{x},{x,y},{x,y,z}} because there exists an element of d i.e. {x} = e such that d n e = 0 ?

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    Just because it is R^3 with a slice missing along the z axis and 1 unit up in y-axis however witth more reflection I think that it would have Z as fudamental group because as before the space is still path connected since a path to any to point can go around the missing slice but loops going...

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    I am not sure since a loop from x to x in R^3\{(x; y; z) | x = 0; y = 0; 0 <= z <= 1} is a similar situation to R^3\{(x; y; z) | x = 0; y = 0; z = 0} As they can always avoid the unit line on z axis that is missing as it were. Also is R^3\{(x; y; z) | x = 0; 0 <= y <= 1} isomorphic to...

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    Yes that makes sense so pi1(R^3\(0,0,0)) = {1}? What about R^3\{(x,y,z)|x=0,y=0,0<=z<=1} as this is path connected

    Linear Maps and Fixed Points in RPn

    for part (ii) if [x]=[f(x)] in RPn then by the definition λx=f(x) so that they are in the same equivalence class therefore since f is linear x is an eigenvector and λ is the eigenvalue

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    Yes that is very helpful thank you, in my mind I was trying to calculate it from one point. So for example you say that if X is path connected and x not equal to y in X, then the fundamental group at x is the same as at y. So for example R^3\(0,0,0)? This I believe is path connected however...

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    Also R^3 with the x-axis plane removed, can that be homotopic equivalent to a torus and therefore have fundamental group Z disjoit union Z as with a torus.

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    I have done some more research and now I understand that the fundamental group of X is the group consisting of the homotopic equivalence classes of loops of base x in X. But this must be expressed in algebraic terms, now I understand that {2} is not a group but I beleiev there are two different...

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    Clearly I am misunderstood I thought it was to do with the equivalence classes of homotopic closed loops from a base point x in X

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    if you had to give a reason for this would you say that is because it is a 3 dimensional manifold. Also does this mean that if X2 = {(x; y; z) ∈ R^3 | x not equal to 0} then pi1(X2) = {2} since it splits R^3 into two sections

    Is the Fundamental Group of X1 Trivial or Isomorphic to Z?

    X1 = {(x; y; z) ∈ R^3 | x > 0} just need to check my thinking is pi1(X1) = {1} i.e. trivial
