Examples of three vector spaces over the same field include the space of vectors of the form <a, b> and <a, b, c> over the real numbers, as well as the space of all polynomials of degree 3 or less over the real numbers. The discussion highlights the confusion around defining the same vector space over different fields, noting that the underlying field is integral to the vector space's definition. Despite this, an example provided includes the vector space of complex numbers considered over the fields of rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of fields in vector space definitions. Overall, the topic underscores the complexities of vector space definitions in abstract algebra.
