Fundamental group of a space #

Given a topological space X and a basepoint x, the fundamental group is the automorphism group of x i.e. the group with elements being loops based at x (quotiented by homotopy equivalence).

def FundamentalGroup (X : Type u) [TopologicalSpace X] (x : X) :

The fundamental group is the automorphism group (vertex group) of the basepoint in the fundamental groupoid.
