| Feb 9, 2012 at 13:26 | comment | added | user2529 | argh, i forgot to add "connected". I meant to ask if the reals was the smallest connected ordered topological ring. | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 8:47 | comment | added | Gjergji Zaimi | In lights of the comments above, I would suggest editing the title. Perhaps to something like "characterizing $\mathbb R$ as a topological ring"... | |

| Feb 9, 2012 at 6:56 | comment | added | Dylan Wilson | Since the reals are characterized by being the only complete totally ordered field, any other criterion you give will have to have something with the feeling of completeness to it- I don't think you can get something from nothing, especially if the "something" is "real numbers". | |
