category of finite-dimensional vector spaces [uncountable field]

Notation FinVectK\FinVect_K Objects finite-dimensional vector spaces over an uncountable field KK Morphisms linear maps Parent FinVectK\FinVect_K Related VectK\Vect_K, Abfg\Ab_{\fg}, Projfg(R[ε])\Proj_\fg(\IR[\varepsilon]) External nLab Link

This is the special case of FinVectK\FinVect_K where KK is an uncountable field (e.g. K=RK = \IR). We use this assumption in order to determine all properties of this category.

Special objects

  • terminal object: the trivial vector space
  • initial object: the trivial vector space
  • products: [finite case] direct products with pointwise operations
  • coproducts: [finite case] direct sums

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: bijective linear maps
  • monomorphisms: injective linear maps
  • epimorphisms: surjective linear maps
  • regular monomorphisms: same as monomorphisms
  • regular epimorphisms: same as epimorphisms
