Extract

For every Banach space X, denote by GL(X) the linear group of X, i.e. the group of all linear continuous invertible operators on X with the topology induced by the operator norm. One says that GL(X) is contractible to a point if there exists a continuous map F: GL(X) × [0, 1] → GL(X) such that F(A,0) = A and F(A, 1) = Id, for every A ∈ GL(X).
