Exercise 13.3.9
The action of on the nonzero vectors of gives a group homomorphism . Prove that this map is one-to-one.
Proof.
Let
If , then for all , then particularly , where is the standard basis of . Since a linear map (or its matrix) is determined by the images of the vectors of a base,
is a one-to-one group homomorphism. □
