Abstract

The Brown–Grossman proper homotopy groups at an end of a locally compact Hausdorff space, X, were introduced by E. M. Brown in 1974. In this note we define and study ‘global’ versions of these groups and compare these global groups with the groups ‘at infinity’. We also obtain several interlocking exact sequences relating these groups with the Hurewicz and Steenrod homotopy groups of X.
