Prove that if U, V and W are vector spaces such that U and V are isomorphic and V and W are isomorphic, then U and W are isomorphic.
Defination : Two vector space V1 and V1
are isomorphic if there exist a linear map T :
V1V2
which is bijective .
Now given U and V are isomorphic ,then there exist linear map
T1 : UV , which is
bijective .
Also given V and W are isomorphic ,then there exist linear map
T2 : VW ,which is
bijective .
Now T1 : UV and
T2 : V
W
T2
T1
is also a linear map and composition two bijective map is bijective
.
T2
T1
is a linear bijective map from U and W .
i.e., there exist a linear bijective map from U to W .
Hence U and W are isomorphic .
