Abstract. The shape theory and, relatively new, coarse shape theory are very useful in studying of topological spaces, as well as of the corresponding algebraic invariants, especially, shape and coarse shape groups. By using certain ultrametrics on special sets of pro-and pro * -morphisms, we topologize those groups when they refer to compact metric spaces and we get topological groups. In the shape case, they are isomorphic to recently constructed topological shape homotopy groups, while in the coarse shape case we get the coarse shape invariants, denoted byπ * d * k (X, x 0 ). We have proven some important properties ofπ * d * k (X, x 0 ) and provided few interesting examples.
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.
