The subspace V × {0} of V ⊕ W is isomorphic to V and is often identified with V; similarly for {0} × W and W. (See internal direct sum below.) With this identification, every element of V ⊕ W can be written in one and only one way as the sum of an element of V and an element of W. The dimension of V ⊕ W is equal to the sum of the ...
The direct sum is also commutative up to isomorphism, i.e. for any algebraic structures and of the same kind. The direct sum of finitely many abelian groups, vector spaces, or modules is canonically isomorphic to the corresponding direct product. This is false, however, for some algebraic objects, like nonabelian groups.
Determining whether a given subspace W is invariant under T is ostensibly a problem of geometric nature. Matrix representation allows one to phrase this problem algebraically. Write V as the direct sum W ⊕ W′; a suitable W′ can always be chosen by extending a basis of W. The associated projection operator P onto W has matrix representation
The vector space is said to be the algebraic direct sum (or direct sum in the category of vector spaces) when any of the following equivalent conditions are satisfied: The addition map S : M × N → X {\\displaystyle S:M\\times N\\to X} is a vector space isomorphism .
Formally, the symmetric algebra of a vector space V over a field F is the group algebra of the dual, Sym(V) := F[V ∗], and the Weyl algebra is the group algebra of the (dual) Heisenberg group W(V) = F[H(V ∗)]. Since passing to group algebras is a contravariant functor, the central extension map H(V) → V becomes an inclusion Sym(V) → W(V).
The group operation in the external direct sum is pointwise multiplication, as in the usual direct product. This subset does indeed form a group, and for a finite set of groups {H i} the external direct sum is equal to the direct product. If G = ΣH i, then G is isomorphic to Σ E {H i}. Thus, in a sense, the direct sum is an "internal ...
A graded module is a module with a decomposition as a direct sum M = ⨁ x M x over a graded ring R = ⨁ x R x such that R x M y ⊆ M x+y for all x and y. Uniform A uniform module is a module in which all pairs of nonzero submodules have nonzero intersection.
The set of complex numbers C, numbers that can be written in the form x + iy for real numbers x and y where i is the imaginary unit, form a vector space over the reals with the usual addition and multiplication: (x + iy) + (a + ib) = (x + a) + i(y + b) and c ⋅ (x + iy) = (c ⋅ x) + i(c ⋅ y) for real numbers x, y, a, b and c. The various ...
