ABSTRACT

A Minkowski space is a finite dimensional real Banach space, that is equipped with a norm-not necessarily the Euclidean one. Any Minkowski space is determined by it’s unit ball which is an o-symmetric convex set which intersects any line through o in a nonvoid closed segment, and vice versa any such body considered as a unit ball determines a Minkowski space. It is well known that there is only one vector topology on so topology is independent of the metric.
