Isomorphism Definition and 321 Threads

Hi, I am wondering if all isomorphisms between hilbert spaces are also isometries, that is, norm preserving. In another sense, since all same dimensional hilbert spaces are isomorphic, are they all related by isometries also? Thank you,

what does it really mean? for instance if asked to list all abelian grps of order 12 up to iso, then do we include Z12 or not?

All groups are finite abelian if K⊕K ≅ N⊕N, prove that K≅N I'm thinking of constructing bijection, but I don't know if my argument makes sense! since K⊕K ≅ N⊕N, there exists a bij between the two assume ψ: K⊕K ----> N⊕N (k,k') |---> (n,n') where n = f(k) for some...

Homework Statement We're looking at a mapping from P2 (polynomials of degree two or less) to M2(R) (the set of 2x2 real matrices). The nuance here is that the transformation into the matricies is such that its basis consists of only three independent matrices, making its dimension 3. This...

Hi, I've come across this result which says that if there are two isomorphic vector spaces with a transformation between them, then that transformation must be linear. Can anyone help me prove this? For instance, if I have a transformation T: Z -> Z where Z is the set of integers, T(z) =...

In the conditions where the second isomorphism theorem applies, one has H/HnK = HK/K so in particular, taking orders (in the finite case), one has the order formula |HK| = |H|*|K|/|H n K|. Does anyone know if this formula holds in general, or under lesser hypotheses? Thx.

(Apologies for ascii art math, I don't know latex. Also apologies if this is in the wrong forum.) Homework Statement Why, in this lemma, must there be a vector v in V? That is, why must V be nonempty? An isomorphism maps a zero vector to a zero vector. Where f:V->W is an isomorphism, fix any...

natural isomorphism from V to V** It is known that there is a natural isomorphism \epsilon \rightleftharpoons \omega^\epsilon from V to V**, where \omega: V \times V* \rightarrow R is a bilinear mapping. So given a certain \epsilon \in V, its image under the isomorphism is actually a set of...
