Statement

Let [ilmath](X,\mathcal{ J })[/ilmath] and [ilmath](Y,\mathcal{ K })[/ilmath] be homeomorphic topological spaces, let [ilmath]p\in X[/ilmath] be given (this will be the base point of the fundamental group [ilmath]\pi_1(X,p)[/ilmath]) and let [ilmath]\varphi:X\rightarrow Y[/ilmath] be that homeomorphism. Then: ^[1]:

• [ilmath]\pi_1(X,p)\cong\pi_1(Y,\varphi(p))[/ilmath] - where [ilmath]\cong[/ilmath] denotes group isomorphism here, but can also be used to denote topological isomorphism (AKA: homeomorphism)

That is to say:

• [ilmath]\big(X\cong_\varphi Y)\implies(\pi_1(X,p)\cong_{\varphi_*}\pi_1(Y,\varphi(p))\big)[/ilmath]
