Definitions

All of this comes from the same reference[1]

Name Expression Notes
Finite
External direct sum Given V1,,Vn
which are vector spaces over the same field F:

V=ni=1Vi={(v1,,vn)|viVi, i=1,2,,n}


Often written: V=V1V2Vn

This is the easiest definition, for example Rn=ni=1R=RRn times

Operations: (given ui,viVi and c is a scalar in F)

  • (u1,,un)+(v1,,vn)=(u1+v1,,un+vn)
  • c(v1,,vn)=(cv1,,cvn)
Alternative form
V=ni=1Vi={f:{1,,n}ni=1Vi|f(i)Vi i{1,,n}}
Consider the association:

(v1,,vn)[f:{1,,n}ni=1Vi|f(i)=vi i]


That is, that maps a vector to a function which takes a number from 1 to n to the ith component, and:
Given a function f:{1,,n}ni=1Vi
where f(i)Vi i
we can define the following association:
f(f(1),,f(n))

Thus:

  • V=ni=1Vi={f:{1,,n}ni=1Vi|f(i)Vi i}
  • V=ni=1Vi={(v1,,vn)|viVi, i}

Are isomorphic

Sum of vector spaces Given V1,,Vn which are vector subspaces of V

ni=1Vi={v1++vn|viVi, i=1,2,,n}


Sometimes this is written: V1+V2++Vn

For any family of vectors (here K will denote an indexing set and F={Vi|iK}
(a family of vector spaces over F))
Direct product V=iKVi={f:KiKVi|f(i)Vi iK}
Generalisation of the external direct sum
External direct sum V=iKVi={f:KiKVi|f(i)Vi iK, f has finite support}
Note:
  • The alternative notation extiK
    is sometimes used
Finite support:
A function f has finite support if f(i)=0 for all but finitely many iK 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|iI}
, the internal direct sum is defined as follows:

V=F

or V=iI
where the following hold:

  1. V=iIVi
    - that is that V is the sum (or join) of the family F
  2. iI
    we have Vi(jiVj)={0}
  • For the second condition each Vj is called a direct summand of V
  • If F is finite, that is F={V1,,Vn}
    then we often write:
    V=V1Vn
  • If V=ST then we call T a complement of S in V
  • The 2nd condition is stronger than saying the members of F are pairwise disjoint - the book makes this clear although I see it as obvious. (Even though they're not quite pairwise disjoint!)
