May 9, 2018 at 19:37 comment added Pietro Majer @LSpice of course topological embedding (not necessarily linear) need not preserve completeness- e.g. R can be embedded in R as an open interval. But the question is only meaningful in the top. linear sense ($\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ are already homeomorphic, as topological spaces)
May 9, 2018 at 19:29 comment added LSpice @PietroMajer, sorry, what I meant is: is it obvious that a mere topological embedding will preserve completeness? (Maybe the fact that the uniform, if not the metric, structure is preserved is good enough here.)
May 9, 2018 at 19:03 comment added ABB @Pietro Majer: I feel these two questions will be complicated when the embedding is considered up to topological spaces. I mean the linear assumption removes.
May 9, 2018 at 19:03 comment added Pietro Majer rmk: Of course if one only wants a homeo onto a subspace, not necessarily linear, then $\ell_2$ is already homeomorphic to $\ell_1$, via $\ell_2\ni x:=(x_j)_j\mapsto (|x_j|x_j)_j\in\ell_1$
May 9, 2018 at 18:57 comment added Pietro Majer @GABB In this case, note that any closed subspace is Hilbert, so we can't find $\ell_1$
May 9, 2018 at 18:55 comment added Pietro Majer @Spice yes because it is complete
May 9, 2018 at 18:55 comment added ABB @Pietro Majer What happens if we change the roles? I mean what is the Hilbertian dimension of the smallest Hilbert space contains $\ell^1$ up to topological vector spaces.
May 9, 2018 at 18:54 comment added LSpice Since the question is just about a topological embedding, is it obvious that the image is closed?
