If pis an odd prime, and charkdoes not divide 2p, and 1 is an integer, there exists a 2dimensional family of curves of genus p. So, one way to think of the homomorphism idea is that it is a generalization of isomorphism, motivated by the observation that many of the properties of isomorphisms have only to do with the maps structure preservation property and not to do with it being a correspondence.

We deal here with one endomorphism of a module, actually a free module, and especially a finite dimensional vector space over a field k. Vector space isomorphism kennesaw state university.
To show that a subset uof a vector space is a subspace, it su. Conversely, each module over the polynomial ring k t is a vector space over the field k with the module structure induced by a given k. We prove that every endomorphism of an infinitedimensional vector space over a field splits into the sum of four idempotents and into the sum of four squarezero endomorphisms, a result that is optimal in general.

Endomorphisms and automorphisms we now specialize to the situation where a vector space homomorphism a. Endomorphisms and automorphisms of vector spaces and algebras over a field are introduced and the notion of the endomorphism algebra of a vector space is explored. These observations are the starting point for enriched category theory, as the categories ab, r mod and f vect have hom functors valued in the categories of z, r and f algebras, and are thus enriched in.
