Topological fields #
A topological division ring is a topological ring whose inversion function is continuous at every non-zero element.
Left-multiplication by a nonzero element of a topological division ring is proper, i.e., inverse images of compact sets are compact.
Right-multiplication by a nonzero element of a topological division ring is proper, i.e., inverse images of compact sets are compact.
A topological division ring is a division ring with a topology where all operations are continuous, including inversion.
- continuous_add : Continuous fun (p : K × K) => p.1 + p.2
- continuous_mul : Continuous fun (p : K × K) => p.1 * p.2
- continuous_neg : Continuous fun (a : K) => -a
Instances
The (topological-space) closure of a subfield of a topological field is itself a subfield.

This section is about affine homeomorphisms from a topological field 𝕜
to itself.
Technically it does not require 𝕜
to be a topological field, a topological ring that
happens to be a field is enough.

Some results about functions on preconnected sets valued in a ring or field with a topology.
If f
is a function α → 𝕜
which is continuous on a preconnected set S
, and
f ^ 2 = 1
on S
, then either f = 1
on S
, or f = -1
on S
.
If f, g
are functions α → 𝕜
, both continuous on a preconnected set S
, with
f ^ 2 = g ^ 2
on S
, and g z ≠ 0
all z ∈ S
, then either f = g
or f = -g
on
S
.
If f, g
are functions α → 𝕜
, both continuous on a preconnected set S
, with
f ^ 2 = g ^ 2
on S
, and g z ≠ 0
all z ∈ S
, then as soon as f = g
holds at
one point of S
it holds for all points.
