In Rudin's Functional Analysis (in theorem 3.4), he says:
"every nonconstant linear functional on X is an open mapping". X is topological vector space.
This seems like a strengthening of the open mapping theorem, which requires X to be an F-Space, and that the linear functional to be continuous.
Indeed, it seems like a discontinuous linear functional from R to R as described in Gelbaum for instance isn't open.
What am I missing?
thanks
