Résumé

The algebraic structure of a topological algebra influences its topological structure in a way which is profound but not well understood. (See § 7 below for various examples.) Here we examine this influence rather generally, and give a fairly complete analysis of one of the many forms it can take, namely, the influence of the identities of on the group identities obeyed by the homotopy group (or groups of the components) of .
