Exercise 7.4.10

Answers

Since x Cy, we may assume x = Tm(y) for some integer m. If ϕ(t) is the T-annihilator of x and p(t) is the T-annihilator of y, then we know p(T)(x) = p(T)(Tm(y)) = Tm(p(T)(y)) = 0. Hence p(t) is a factor of ϕ(t). If x = 0, then we have p(t) = 1 and y = 0. The statement is true for this case. So we assume that x0. Thus we know that y0 otherwise x is zero. Hence we know p(t) = ϕ(t). By Exercise 7.3.15, the dimension of Cx is equal to the dimension of Cy. Since x = Tm(y) we know that Cx Cy. Finally we know that they are the same since they have the same dimension.
