In topology, an open map is a function between two topological spaces which maps open sets to open sets. That is, a function f : X → Y is open if for any open set U in X, the image f(U) is open in Y. A map may be open, closed, both, or neither; in particular, an open map need not be closed and vice versa.

Why is the inverse of a bounded bijective operator continuous?
I'm facing some troubles with the following theorem,
Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces and let $T \in B(X,Y)$. I want to show that if $T$ is bijective then its inverse is continuous. Now if $T$ is bijective than its surjectivity implies that it is open by…
