The name of pointed sum of n-intervals

23 Views Asked by At

this may be only a trivial question. But I wonder if there is any known name for the space $\bigvee^n I:=\bigsqcup^n [0,1]/\bigsqcup^n\{0\}$, namely n-folds pointed sum of interval. Any idea?

It is called a hedgehog space, due to its spikiness which resembles a hedgehog (a little).
