Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(R\): \(\in \{\text{ the rings }\}\)
\(M\): \(\in \{\text{ the } R \text{ modules }\}\)
\(n\): \(\in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}\)
\(B\): \(\in \{\text{ the bases for } M\} = \{b^j \vert j \in \{1, ..., n\}\}\)
\(B'\): \(\in \{\text{ the bases for } M\} = \{b'^l = N^l_j b^j \vert l \in \{1, ..., n\}\}\)
\(f\): \(: M \to M\), \(\in \{\text{ the ring endomorphisms }\}\)
\(O\): \(= \text{ the matrix of } f \text{ with respect to } B\) defined in the proposition that for any map from any module with any \(d_1\)-elements basis into any module with any \(d_2\)-elements basis over any same ring, the map is linear if and only if the map is represented by the \(d_1 \times d_2\) ring matrix
\(O'\): \(= \text{ the matrix of } f \text{ with respect to } B'\) defined in the proposition that for any map from any module with any \(d_1\)-elements basis into any module with any \(d_2\)-elements basis over any same ring, the map is linear if and only if the map is represented by the \(d_1 \times d_2\) ring matrix
//

Statements:
\(O' = N O N^{-1}\)
//


2: Note


This holds not only for any vectors space \(M\) but also for any module \(M\) as far as such bases exist.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(N\) is uniquely determined; Step 2: take \(N' \in M_n (R)\) such that \(b^j = N'^j_l b'^l\), and see that \(N' = N^{- 1}\); Step 3: see that \(f (b'^l) = N^l_j O^j_m N'^m_p b'^p\).

Step 1:

\(N\) is uniquely determined, by the proposition that for any module with any basis, the components set of any element with respect to the basis is unique.

Step 2:

There is the unique \(N' \in M_n (R)\) such that \(b^j = N'^j_l b'^l\), by the proposition that for any module with any basis, the components set of any element with respect to the basis is unique.

For each \(l \in \{1, ..., n\}\), \(b'^l = N^l_j b^j = N^l_j N'^j_m b'^m\), which implies that \(N^l_j N'^j_l = 1\) and \(N^l_j N'^j_m = 0\) for each \(m \neq l\), which implies that \(N N' = I\).

For each \(j \in \{1, ..., n\}\), \(b^j = N'^j_l b'^l = N'^j_l N^l_m b^m\), which implies that \(\) and \(N'^j_l N^l_j = 1\) and \(N'^j_l N^l_m = 0\) for each \(m \neq j\), which implies that \(N' N = I\).

So, \(N'\) is an inverse of \(N\) and is the inverse, \(N^{- 1}\), by the proposition that if any square ring matrix has an inverse, the inverse is the unique inverse.

Step 3:

For each \(l \in \{1, ..., n\}\), \(f (b'^l) = f (N^l_j b^j) = N^l_j f (b^j)\), because \(f\) is linear, \(= N^l_j O^j_m b^m = N^l_j O^j_m N'^m_p b'^p = O'^l_p b'^p\), which implies that \(N^l_j O^j_m N'^m_p = O'^l_p\), which implies that \(N O N' = O'\).

So, \(O' = N O N^{- 1}\).
