Do algebraically open sets define a vector space topology?












1














Let $X$ be a vector space. A vector space topology on $X$ is a topology such that addition and scalar multiplication are continuous. A subset $A$ of $X$ is said to be algebraically open if, for all $ain A$ and $xin X$, there exists $varepsilon>0$ such that $a+(-varepsilon,varepsilon)cdot xsubseteq A$. My question is if the algebraically open sets form a vector space topology on $X$.

The answer is negative. We know that every finite dimensional topological vector space is topologically isomorphic to $mathbb{K}^n$ with the Euclidean topology, for some $ninmathbb{N}$. However, there exist algebraically open subsets of $mathbb{R}^2$ that are not open by the Euclidean topology.

  • When you say topologically isomorphic, do you mean there exists an isomorphism of TVS between them (i.e continues operator with continues inverse), or that they are isomorphic under the identity map? If you mean the former I think this requires more explanation.

  • Topologically isomorphic means there exists a bijection preserving addition, scalar multiplication and topology, so a homeomorphic isomorphism. You can check the link for details.

  • Then why does this create a contradiction? take an algebraically open subset $A$ of the plane that is not open, under the isomorphism $T:(mathbb{R}^2, algeb. open) rightarrow (mathbb{R}^2, usual)$, T(A) may not be A, thus may be open. I think you need a specific example from the post you mentioned.

    @pitariver Since $T$ is a bijective linear map in finite dimensions, it is continuous with respect to the usual topology. Thus, if $T(A)$ were open, then $T^{-1}(T(A))=A$ would be open.
