Standard topology
In mathematics, a norm topology is a topology on a normalized vector space that was induced by the norm of the vector space .
definition
If a normalized vector space , the norm of the space induces a metric by forming the difference between two vectors
- .
on . With this metric, the vector space becomes a metric space . A metric can now be used to a ε-environment to a vector by
define. A subset is then called open , if
applies. The metric now induces a topology via these open sets
- .
With this topology, the vector space becomes a topological vector space and this topology, which is ultimately induced by the norm, is called the norm topology.
Topology axioms
The norm topology is actually a topology, as can be demonstrated by checking the three topology axioms , which are valid in the following form for all metric spaces.
1. The empty set and the basic set are open:
- The empty set is open since there is none for which a suitable ε-neighborhood has to be found. The basic set is open because it is an ε-neighborhood of all its elements.
2. The intersection of finitely many open sets is open:
- Be the sets with open. Then there are bounds and one from the intersection of these sets such that for holds. If you choose now , then the average of these sets is open.
3. The union of any number of open sets is open:
- Let now an arbitrary index set and are the amounts for open. If this is the union of these sets, then there is an index with and a bound so that holds. From this it follows and thus the union of these sets is open.
properties
- The standard topology is a special strong topology . It is to be distinguished from the weak topology and the weak - * - topology .
- A flask equipped with a standard topology topological space is always Hausdorff because two vectors with by environments and with are separated.
- According to Kolmogoroff's criterion for normalization , the topology of a Hausdorff topological vector space is generated by a norm if and only if it has a bounded and convex null neighborhood.
