Motivation
A topological vector space is a vector space over a (topological) field, K, that carries a topology such that addition and scalar multiplication are continuous maps, e.g., all normed vector ...

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ (not necessarily perfect). Consider the Frobenius endomorphism $F : k \to k$, $x \mapsto x^p$. I am curious about what happens when we take $k$ as a $k$-...
