Suppose two metrics induce the same bornology; do they necessarily induce the same topological space?

248 Views Asked by At

Every metric space $(X,d)$ gives rise to a bornology by asserting that $A \subseteq X$ is bounded iff there is an open ball (of finite radius) that includes $A$.

Now just because two metrics induce the same topological space, nonetheless they needn't induce the same bornology. E.g. Let $d$ denote the usual metric on $\mathbb{R},$ and take $d'(x,y) = \min\{d(x,y),1\}.$ Then $d'$ induces the same topology as $d$, but every subset of $\mathbb{R}$ is bounded with respect to $d'$.

Under the usual metric on $[0,1]$ every subset is bounded. Under the discrete metric every subset is bounded, too.
