Uniform isomorphism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Uniformly homeomorphic)

In the mathematical field of topology a uniform isomorphism or uniform homeomorphism is a special isomorphism between uniform spaces that respects uniform properties. Uniform spaces with uniform maps form a category. An isomorphism between uniform spaces is called a uniform isomorphism.

Definition

[edit]

A function between two uniform spaces and is called a uniform isomorphism if it satisfies the following properties

In other words, a uniform isomorphism is a uniformly continuous bijection between uniform spaces whose inverse is also uniformly continuous.

If a uniform isomorphism exists between two uniform spaces they are called uniformly isomorphic or uniformly equivalent.

Uniform embeddings

A uniform embedding is an injective uniformly continuous map between uniform spaces whose inverse is also uniformly continuous, where the image has the subspace uniformity inherited from

Examples

[edit]

The uniform structures induced by equivalent norms on a vector space are uniformly isomorphic.
