Completion of a Metric Space is Banach Space?

84 Views Asked by At

Let $X$ be a metric space and $\hat{X}$ its completion. Show that $\hat{X}$ is a Banach space.

I think this is false, but I can't find a counterexample.

Take any complete metric space which is not a Banach space (such as $S^1$, endowed with the usual topology), which will then be homeomorphic to its completion. Therefore, it will not be a Banach space.
