Main Body
1: Structured Description
Here is the rules of Structured Description.
Entities:
\(*T\): \(\in \{\text{ the path-connected topological spaces }\}\)
//
Conditions:
\(\forall p \in T (\pi_1 (T, p) = \{1\})\) where \(\pi_1 (T, p)\) is the fundamental group.
//
2: Natural Language Description
Any path-connected topological space, \(T\), such that at each point, \(p \in T\), the fundamental group is \(\pi_1 (T, p) = \{1\}\)
