Show that the fundamental group of the 2-torus S1×S1S^{1} \times S^{1} is isomorphic to Z×Z\mathbf{Z} \times \mathbf{Z}.

Show that an injective continuous map from the circle S1S^{1} to itself induces multiplication by ±1\pm 1 on the fundamental group.

Show that there is no retraction from the solid torus S1×D2S^{1} \times D^{2} to its boundary.
