A Distance-Preserving Bijection is a Homeomorphism
lemmaAnalysisTopologylem:distance-preserving-bijection-homeomorphism-2026bLet and be metric spaces. Equip with the collection of all subsets that are open in , which is a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and equip with the corresponding collection . Write for the open ball with centre and radius , and for a subset of write .
Let be a bijection that preserves distances, that is,
Then the following hold.
1. (Balls correspond) For every and every real number ,
2. (Homeomorphism) Both and its inverse are continuous.
3. (Compactness) For every : the set is compact in if and only if is compact in .
