Abstract
We show that certain algebraic structures lack freeness in the absence of the axiom of choice. These include some subgroups of the Baer–Specker group $\mathbb{Z}^{\omega}$ and the Hawaiian earring group. Applications to slenderness, completely metrizable topological groups, length functions and strongly bounded groups are also presented.
