Exercise 3.E.3

Answers

Proof. Let V = U1 = U2 = 𝔽. Note that U1 + U2 = 𝔽. Define T : 𝔽× 𝔽 𝔽 by

T ((x1,x2,x3,),(y1,y2,y3,) ) = (x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,).

Thus T is obviously surjective. To prove injectivity, let

((x1,x2,x3,),(y1,y2,y3,) ), ((z1,z2,z3,),(w1,w2,w3,) ) 𝔽× 𝔽

such that

T ((x1,x2,x3,),(y1,y2,y3,) ) = T ((z1,z2,z3,),(w1,w2,w3,) ).

This implies that

(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,) = (z1,w1,z2,w2,z3,w3).

Therefore xj = zj and yj = wj for each j. Hence

((x1,x2,x3,),(y1,y2,y3,) ) = ((z1,z2,z3,),(w1,w2,w3,) )

and so T is injective. Thus T is an isomorphism, as desired. □
