Some notes on discontinuous homomorphisms
by
Greg Conner (Brigham Young University)

One of the more useful tricks in topology and group theory is to move between the two using the fundamental group functor.  It's a surprising fact that while every group is the fundamental group of a space, not every homomorphism of groups is induced by continuous maps of spaces.  We will discuss various results related to such inscrutable homomorphisms.
