Math Problem Statement

2. If T ∈ A_F(V) is idempotent, prove that V = A ⊕ B for some subspaces A, B of V. 3. Let V = F^3 and B = {(1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)} and B' = {(1,2,3), (0,2,4), (0,0,5)} be two bases for V over F. If T ∈ A_F(V) and [T]_B = [[1, -1, 0], [1, 2, 1], [2, 1, 3]], then find T and [T]_{B'}.

Solution

Let’s address the two parts of the question:


2. Prove that V=ABV = A \oplus B for some subspaces A,BA, B of VV when TAF(V)T \in A_F(V) is idempotent

Solution Outline:

  1. Idempotence of TT:

    • Since TT is idempotent, it satisfies T2=TT^2 = T. This implies TT is a projection operator.
  2. Decomposition of VV:

    • Idempotent TT allows us to split VV into two invariant subspaces:
      • The image of TT, Im(T)=A\text{Im}(T) = A, is a subspace of VV.
      • The kernel of TT, ker(T)=B\ker(T) = B, is another subspace of VV.
  3. Direct Sum:

    • Every vector vVv \in V can be uniquely expressed as v=a+bv = a + b where aAa \in A and bBb \in B. This shows V=ABV = A \oplus B.
  4. Verification of Direct Sum:

    • AB={0}A \cap B = \{0\}: Since aAa \in A and bBb \in B, a+b=0a + b = 0 implies a=b=0a = b = 0, proving the intersection is trivial.

Thus, we have shown that V=Im(T)ker(T)V = \text{Im}(T) \oplus \ker(T).


3. Finding TT and [T]B[T]_{B'}:

Given Information:

  • Vector space V=F3V = F^3.
  • Bases B={(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)}B = \{(1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)\} and B={(1,2,3),(0,2,4),(0,0,5)}B' = \{(1,2,3), (0,2,4), (0,0,5)\}.
  • Matrix [T]B=[110121213][T]_B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}.

Steps to Solve:

  1. Transformation TT:

    • The matrix [T]B[T]_B represents TT in the basis BB. Using this, T(x)=[T]BxT(x) = [T]_B \cdot x for any xVx \in V.
  2. Change of Basis to BB':

    • To find [T]B[T]_{B'}, we use the transformation formula: [ [T]_{B'} = P^{-1} [T]_B P, ] where PP is the change-of-basis matrix from BB' to BB.
  3. Construct PP:

    • The columns of PP are the coordinates of the vectors in BB' expressed in terms of BB: 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 2 & 0 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}.$$
  4. Compute P1[T]BPP^{-1} [T]_B P:

    • Compute P1P^{-1} and use matrix multiplication to determine [T]B[T]_{B'}.
