External direct sum | Given V1,⋯,Vn which are vector spaces over the same field F: V=n⊞i=1Vi={(v1,⋯,vn)|vi∈Vi, i=1,2,⋯,n} |
This is the easiest definition, for example Rn=n⊞i=1R=R⊞⋯⊞R⏟n times Operations: (given ui,vi∈Vi and c is a scalar in F)
|
Alternative form | ||
V=n⊞i=1Vi={f:{1,⋯,n}→n⋃i=1Vi|f(i)∈Vi ∀i∈{1,⋯,n}} |
Consider the association: (v1,⋯,vn)↦[f:{1,⋯,n}→n⋃i=1Vi|f(i)=vi ∀i]
Are isomorphic | |
Sum of vector spaces | Given V1,⋯,Vn which are vector subspaces of V n∑i=1Vi={v1+⋯+vn|vi∈Vi, i=1,2,⋯,n} |
|
For any family of vectors (here K will denote an indexing set and F={Vi|i∈K} (a family of vector spaces over F))
| ||
Direct product | V=∏i∈KVi={f:K→⋃i∈KVi|f(i)∈Vi ∀i∈K} |
Generalisation of the external direct sum |
External direct sum | V=⊞i∈KVi={f:K→⋃i∈KVi|f(i)∈Vi ∀i∈K, f has finite support} |
Note:
|
Finite support: | ||
A function f has finite support if f(i)=0 for all but finitely many i∈K | So it is "zero almost everywhere" - the set {f(i)|f(i)≠0} is finite.
| |
Internal direct sum | Given a family of subspaces of (V,F), F={Vi|i∈I} , the internal direct sum is defined as follows: V=⨁F
