Topology on matrix groups #

Lemmas about the topology of matrix groups, such as GL(n, R) and SL(n, R) for a topological ring R.

Lemmas about matrix groups #

The determinant is continuous as a map from the general linear group to the units.

If R is a commutative ring with the discrete topology, then SL(n, R) has the discrete topology.

The special linear group over a topological ring is a topological group.

The natural map from SL n A to GL n A is continuous.

The natural map from SL n A to GL n A is inducing, i.e. the topology on SL n A is the pullback of the topology from GL n A.

The natural map from SL n A in GL n A is an embedding, i.e. it is an injection and the topology on SL n A coincides with the subspace topology from GL n A.

The natural inclusion of SL n A in GL n A is a closed embedding.
