Abstract:
By use of the theory of characters and the Pontryagin-van Kampen theorem, it is shown that if $E$ is a locally compact vector space over a discrete division ring $K$ of characteristic zero and if ${\dim _K}E < {2^\mathfrak {m}}$, where $\mathfrak {m}$ is the cardinality of $K$, then $E$ is metrizable.References
