Trivial subspace

If a subset W of a vector space V satisfies the definition of a vector space, with addition and scalar multiplication defined by the same operation as in V, then W is called a vector subspace or, more succinctly, a subspace of V. For example, the trivial subspace 0 is a subspace of any vector space. 

Proof. We will prove the first conclusion of this proposition by induction on the dimension of VF. We start with the subspace of dimension zero, i.e., the trivial subspace 0. It is easy to check that the linear transformation taking every vector of V to the zero vector is an orthogonal projection onto 0. ... 

Exercise 5.1 Suppose G, V, p) is a representation. Show that both the trivial subspace 0 and the entire subspace V are invariant subspaces for the representation. 

For some representations, the largest and smallest subspaces are the only invariant ones. Consider, for example, the natural representation of the group G = 50(3) on the three-dimensional vector space C . Suppose W is an invariant subspace with at least one nonzero element. We will show that W = C-. In other words, we will show that only itself (all) and the trivial subspace 0 (nothing) are invariant subspaces of this representation. It will suffice to show that the vector (1, 0, 0) lies in W, since W would then have to contain both... 

Definition 6.1 A representation (G, V, p) is irreducible z/to only invariant subspaces are V itself and the trivial subspace 0. Representations that are not irreducible are called reducible. 

Proof. By Proposition 3.5, since V2 is finite dimensional we know that there is an orthogonal projection 112 with range V2. Because p is unitary, the linear transformation 112 is a homomorphism of representations by Proposition 5.4. Thus by Exercise 5.15 the restriction of 112 to Vi is a homomorphism of representations. By hypothesis, this homomorphism cannot be injective. Hence Schur s lemma (Proposition 6.2) implies that since Vi is irreducible, fl2[Vi] is the trivial subspace. In other words, Vi is perpendicidar to V2. ... 

Every subspace U C Rn that differs from the trivial subspace 0 has many bases. 

A set M of bounded operators on Hilbert H is defined as irreducible, if the single closed subspaces of H, which are invariant under the action of M, are trivial subspaces 0 and H. A representation of aC algebra... 

In section 3.2 we consider the varieties of higher order data D X). Their definition is a generalisation of that of D X). We show that only the varieties of third order data of curves and hypersurfaces are well-behaved, i.e. they are locally trivial bundles over the corresponding varieties of second order data with fibre a projective space. In particular D X) is a natural desingularisation of. Then we compute the Chow ring of these varieties. As an enumerative application of the results of chapter 3 we determine formulas for the numbers of second and third order contacts of a smooth projective variety X C Pn with linear subspaces of P. ... 

The goal of this section is to find useful spanning subspaces of C[— 1, 1] and 2(52) Recall from Definition 3.7 that a subspace spans if the perpendicular subspace is trivial. In a finite-dimensional space V, there are no proper spanning subspaces any subspace that spans must have the same dimension as V and hence is equal to V. However, for an infinite-dimensional complex scalar product space the situation is more complicated. There are often proper subspaces that span. We will see that polynomials span both C[—l, 1] andL2(5 2) in Propositions 3.8 and 3.9, respectively. In the process, we will appeal to the Stone-Weierstrass theorem (Theorem 3.2) without giving its proof. 

Find a one-dimensional invariant subspace Wi ofC. Show that the representation S3, VPi, p) is trivial. 

Proof. Since each is finite-dimensional, we can use Proposition 3.5 to define the orthogonal projection 13, V L (S ) onto the subspace Since V is not trivial, Proposition 7.4 impUes that V is not orthogonal to all of the spherical harmonics. Hence there must be at least one I such that the orthogonal projection n,>[ V] is not trivial. 

Hence w is not trivial. Because W is an irreducible invariant subspace, Proposition 7.6 implies that there is a nonnegative integer such that... 

The representation is called unitary if p(g) is a unitary operator for all g. The representation p g) is called irreducible if a non-trivial invariant subspace V does not exist4. We are now ready to introduce the Heisenberg group, which is the main object of this section. 

Prove that an algebraic G is triangulable (9, Ex. 6) iff it has a unipotent normal closed subgroup U with G/U diagonalizable. [If G acts on V, then U acts trivially on a nonzero subspace V0. The map G - Aut(V0) factors through G/U, which will have an eigenvector.]... 

Any Cl space truncated according to excitation level may be formulated within the RAS Cl framework the occupied orbitals are placed in RAS I, and the unoccupied orbitals are placed in RAS III, and the RAS II subspace is absent. The maximum number of electrons in RAS III is set equal to the maximum excitation level, and the minimum number of electrons in RAS I is simply the total number of electrons N minus the maximum excitation level. A full Cl can be obtained by applying trivial restrictions, such as a minimum of zero electrons in RAS I and a maximum of N electrons in RAS III. 

There is a useful alternate interpretation of this example. The (n + 1) CSFs may be grouped into two types of terms the first set consists of the three CSFs included in the full Cl within the subspace of orbitals and 2, and the second set consists of the remaining n - 2) pair-expansion terms. Rotations between orbitals (p and (p2 simply transform the first group of three CSFs among themselves, since it is a full Cl expansion in these orbitals, while the second group of CSFs is trivially invariant to these rotations. Of course, the choice of orbitals, this example, was completely arbitrary any pair of orbitals could have been chosen. 

For rotations in the inactive and external subspaces we trivially obtain ...

Simple subspaces of U are generated by subsets of canonical basis vectors see Section B.3. Less trivial examples will be given in Section B.6. 

When complex classification problems arise (e.g. the different classes of sample overlap or distribute in a non-linearly separable shape) one can have resource either to ANNs (which implies that one must be aware of their stochastic nature and of the optimisation tasks that will be required) or increase the dimensionality of the data (i.e. the variables that describe the samples) in the hope that this will allow a better separation of the classes. How can this be possible Let us consider a trivial example where the samples were drawn/ projected into a two-dimensional subspace (e.g. two original variables, two principal components, etc.) and the groups could not be separated by a linear border (in the straight line sense. Figure 6.9a). However, if three variables were considered instead, the groups would be separated easily (Figure 6.9b). How to get this(these) additional dimension(s) is what SVM addresses.
