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:

    She saw
    her five young children
    writhe and die;
    in that hour
    she began to watch you,
    she whose eyes are open forever.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    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)
