What is the topology on the direct limit of $Bbb R^i rightarrow Bbb R^j$
$begingroup$
If we let $X$ be direct limit of
$$Bbb R rightarrow Bbb R^2 rightarrow Bbb R^3 rightarrow cdots $$
where each arrow is inclusion to first coordinates.
What is a choice of $X$ (with a toplogy that coincides with the direct limit topology).
EDIT: I believe it is subspace of $Bbb R^{Bbb N}$, sequence eventually $0$ taking values in $Bbb R$, with the product topology. I wonder if this is correct.

The direct limit is the set of sequences which are eventually zero.

As mentioned in comments the direct limit is
$$L={(x_1,x_2,x_3,ldots)inmathbb{R}^{mathbb{N}} | x_i=0text{ eventually}}$$
The direct limit topology on $L$ is the topology coherent with ${mathbb{R}^n | ninmathbb{N}}$ treated as subspaces of $L$ via obvious inclusions.
There's another natural choice for topology on $L$: the one induced by the Euclidean norm (note that the Euclidean norm is well defined on sequences that are eventually $0$).
I remember my surprise when I learned that these two are not the same. The example is as follows: let $v_i$ be a vector with $1/i$ on the $i$-th position and $0$ elsewhere. Then $E={e_i}_{i=1}^infty$ is closed in the direct limit (because $Ecapmathbb{R}^n$ is finite for any $n$) but not closed in the Euclidean norm (because $lVert v_irVert=1/i$ and so the sequence converges to $0$).
In fact it can be shown that the direct limit is not metrizable. In particular this also means that $L$ is not a subspace (even up to homeomorphism) of the product topology (at least a product of metrizable spaces) because countable product of metrizable spaces is metrizable.

I wonder what happens if you use the topology where the closed sets are either the full space, or else (images of) closed subsets of some $mathbb{R}^n$. It seems like that would be the smallest topology that makes each $mathbb{R}^n$ have the subspace topology be the Euclidean topology.
