  • Abstract
    In this paper we study the combinatorial structure of the Hawaiian earring group, by showing that it can be represented as a group of transfinite words on a countably infinite alphabet exactly analogously to the representation of a finite rank free group as finite words on a finite alphabet. We define a big free group similarly as the group of transfinite words on given set, and study their group theoretic structure.
