Question
Find an example of a vector space $V$ which has a subspace (other than $V$ itself) that is isomorphic to $V$.
Step 1
We need to find a vector space \( V \) that has a subspace \( W \) (other than \( V \) itself) such that \( W \) is isomorphic to \( V \). This means there exists a bijective linear map between \( V \) and \( W \). Show more…

Give an example of a vector space $V$ and subspaces $U_{1}, U_{2}$ of $V$ such that $U_{1} \times U_{2}$ is isomorphic to $U_{1}+U_{2}$ but $U_{1}+U_{2}$ is not a direct sum. Hint: The vector space $V$ must be infinite-dimensional.
Give an example of a vector space V and subspaces U1, U2 of V such that U1 × U2 is isomorphic to U1 + U2 but U1 + U2 is not a direct sum. Hint: The vector space V must be infinite-dimensional.
