What is the topology on the direct limit of $Bbb R^i rightarrow Bbb R^j$












1












$begingroup$


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.

    Yes, sorry, that is right. But how about the topology?

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.
