If a Banach / Fréchet manifold $M$ happens to be a topological vector space, is $M$ just a Banach / Fréchet space?
In finite dimensions, if $M$ is a smooth manifold that happens to be a vector space, then it is indeed just the Euclidean space.
I wonder if the same result holds valid in infinite dimensions. More ...
