Theorem

Let $K$ be a topological field.

Let $X$ be a topological vector space over $K$.

Let $F$ be a closed set in $X$.

Let $x \in X$.


Then $F + x$ is a closed set in $X$.


Proof

Define a mapping $T_{-x} : X \to X$ by:

$\map {c_\lambda} y = y + x$

for each $y \in X$.

From Translation Mapping on Topological Vector Space is Homeomorphism, $T_{-x}$ is a homeomorphism.

From Definition 4 of a homeomorphism, $T_{-x}$ is therefore a closed mapping.

Hence $T_{-x} \sqbrk F = F + x$ is closed.
