Topological algebra

Topological algebra

In mathematics, a topological algebra "A" is a topological vector space with a continuous multiplication

:cdot :A imes A longrightarrow A:(a,b)longmapsto acdot b.

The term was coined by David van Dantzig; it appears in the title of his doctoral dissertation (1931).
