    Abstract

    For the n-dimensional Hawaiian earring ℍn, n ≥ 2, πn(ℍn, o) ≃ ℤω and πi(ℍn,o) is trivial for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n - 1. Let CX be the cone over a space X and CXVCY be the one-point union with two points of the base spaces X and Y being identified to a point. Then Hn(X V Y) ≃ Hn(X) ⊕ Hn(Y) ⊕ Hn(CX V CY) for n ≥ 1.
