Abstract:

Let $U$ be an open subset of ${R^\infty } = \operatorname {dir} \lim {R^n}$, where $R$ denotes the reals. We show that $U \times {R^\infty }$ is homeomorphic to $U$. Combined with previous work of the author we obtain the corollary that two open subsets of ${R^\infty }$ are homeomorphic if and only if they have the same homotopy type.
