Abstract
In this paper, we propose a natural way to define topologies by using fuzzy metrics; here the value of the distance between two points is a non-negative fuzzy number. With such topology, we also define notions like continuity, convergent sequence, Cauchy sequences and complete spaces. As an application, we provide a fixed point theorem quite similar to the classical Banach´s theorem.
