paragraph_text: Infinite dimension
  
  The vector spaces that occur in classical geometry have always a finite dimension, generally two or three. However, this is not implied by the abstract definition of a vector space, and vector spaces of infinite dimension can be considered. This is typically the case in functional analysis where function spaces are generally vector spaces of infinite dimension.
  
  In topology, some constructions can generate topological spaces of infinite dimension. In particular, this is the case of iterated loop spaces.
