We give a description of the fundamental group π(△) of the Sierpiński-gasket △. It turns out that this group is isomorphic to a certain subgroup of an inverse limit lim ←− Gn formed by the fundamental groups Gn of natural approximations of △. This subgroup, and with it π(△), can be described in terms of sequences of words contained in an inverse limit of semigroups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
