Abstract:
In this article we give a purely topological characterization for a topology $\Im$ on a set $X$ to be the order topology with respect to some linear order $R$ on $X$, as follows. A topology $\Im$ on a set $X$ is an order topology iff $(X,\Im )$ is a ${T_1}$-space and $\Im$ is the least upper bound of two minimal ${T_0}$-topologies [Theorem 1 ]. From this we deduce a purely topological description of the usual topology on the set of all real numbers. That is, a topological space $(X,\Im )$ is homeomorphic to the reals with the usual topology iff $(X,\Im )$ is a connected, separable, ${T_1}$-space, and $\Im$ is the least upper bound of two noncompact minimal ${T_0}$-topologies [Theorem 2].References
