Duality for a direct sum with finite nontrivial support #
The canonical map from the direct sum of the coefficient duals to the dual of a direct sum is an isomorphism when only finitely many summands are nontrivial. The construction is independent of any chosen bases.
A family of linear equivalences induces a linear equivalence of direct sums without changing the index.
Instances For
The canonical inclusion of one summand, with the classical decidable equality choice hidden from the public interface.
Instances For
Extend one coefficient functional by zero on all other summands.
Instances For
Extend a finite-support family of coefficient functionals to a functional on the direct sum.
Instances For
Restrict a functional to each nontrivial summand and assemble the restrictions over the finite set of such summands.
Instances For
The canonical, basis-free finite-duality isomorphism
(⨁ i, Vᵢ*) ≃ (⨁ i, Vᵢ)*.
Instances For
Variant whose finiteness hypothesis is stated on the coefficient duals. Over a field a vector space is nontrivial exactly when its dual is.
