Homework Statement
Is the general linear group over the complex numbers compact?
The Attempt at a Solution
I have a feeling it is not. It is not bounded.
Is the general linear group compact?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The general linear group over the complex numbers, denoted as GL(n, C), is not compact. This conclusion is based on its properties of being unbounded and not closed in the standard topology. The discussion confirms that both of these characteristics disqualify GL(n, C) from being a compact space.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of topological spaces
- Familiarity with the concepts of boundedness and closure in topology
