Definition

The wedge of two circles (sometimes also called the figure of eight) is defined as the wedge sum of two circles with respect to any basepoint in both. Note that since a circle is a homogeneous space, the choice of basepoint does not affect the homeomorphism type of the wedge.

The wedge of two circles is denoted S1∨S1.
