Questions About Hawaiian Earring and Properties

205 Views Asked by At

I've read a bit about the Hawaiian earring and some of its properties. I have a few questions that I haven't been able to find online or derive myself.

  1. How would we prove that the Hawaiian earring is connected.
  2. I'm not too familiar with the different types of connectedness. I've only learned about connectedness (with open disjoint separations) and path connectedness. Is the Hawaiian earring path-connected?
  3. Is there a homeomorphism between the entire Hawaiian earring and the half with only the circles with centers on positive x values?

Edit: I had a slight misunderstanding about the earring but that's been clarified in the comments so 1 and 2 are no longer necessary. I am still curious about number 3, though.
