A topological vector space is a vector space $V$ over a topological field $\mathbb{K}$ (typically $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$), together with a topology on $V$ such that vector addition and scalar multiplication are both continuous. Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces are examples of topological vector spaces.

Topology on the set of linear subspaces

Denote the intersection of a closed linear subspace $A$ with the unit sphere by $S_A$, say. You can define the distance of $A$ and $B$ to be the Hausdorff distance between $S_A$ and $S_B$. This will g …

On the equality $\{f\in C(X), f|_A=0\}+\{f\in C(X), f|_B=0\}=\{f\in C(X), f|_{A\cap B}=0\}$

This characterizes normality. That it implies normality was observed above by Remy. Conversely, assume $f$ vanishes on $A\cap B$. Define $h:A\cup B\to\mathbb{R}$ by $h(x)=f(x)$ if $x\in A$ and $h(x)=0 …
