    What Is an Example of a Linear Map on R^4 Meeting Specific Dimensional Criteria?

    Homework Statement Give a specific example of an operator T on R^4 such that, 1. dim(nullT) = dim(rangeT) and 2. dim(the intersection of nullT and rangeT) = 1 The attempt at a solution I know that dim(R^4) = dim(nullT) + dim(rangeT) = 4, so dim(nullT) = dim(rangeT) = 2. I also...

    All eigenvalues zero => zero map

    I want to prove that if all the eigenvalues of a linear transformation T : V --> V are zero, then T = 0. I think this is obvious but I'm having difficulty putting it into words. If all the eigenvalues of T are zero, then there exists a basis B for V in which [T]_B is the zero matrix. Thus...

    Is Quotient Map Closed? Proof and Explanation | Math Homework

    Homework Statement THe quotient map f is open but is it also closed? The Attempt at a Solution I think it is. Consider f: X->Y FOr every open set V in Y there exists by definition an open set f^-1(V) in X. There is a one to one correspondence between open sets in X and open sets in Y by...

    Is an Explicit Formula for Beilinson's Regulator Map Feasible?

    X is a smooth quasi-projective variety over Q. Beilinson's regulator map is a map from the motivic cohomology H to the Deligne cohomology H_D. Originally the motivic cohomology was defined by Beilinson as an eigenspace of an Adams operation on an algebraic K-group. Bloch (or Levine or someone...
