Open Mapping Theorem

Open mapping theorem may refer to:

  • Open mapping theorem (functional analysis) or Banach–Schauder theorem states that a surjective continuous linear transformation of a Banach space X onto a Banach space Y is an open mapping
  • Open mapping theorem (complex analysis) states that a non-constant holomorphic function on a connected open set in the complex plane is an open mapping
  • Open mapping theorem (topological groups) states that a surjective continuous homomorphism of a locally compact Hausdorff group G onto a locally compact Hausdorff group H is an open mapping if G is σ-compact. Like the open mapping theorem in functional analysis, the proof in the setting of topological groups uses the Baire category theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or theorem:

    “Why make so much of fragmentary blue
    In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
    Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
    When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
