Find $k$,$m$,$n$ such that $f$ is an epimorphism/monomorphism












1














I am trying to solve this task:
$f in L(X,Y)$, $dim X = n$, $dim Y = m$, $dim ker(f) = k.$

Find $k$,$m$,$n$ such that:

a) $f$ is an monomorphism

b) $f$ is an epimorphism



b) If $f$ is an epimorphism, we must be able to get any element from $Y$ by $f$. So $dim y = dim im(f)$
$$ m = n - k $$
have I right?

a) But there I am not sure about my idea - I think that it should be (intuitively) $dim X = dim im(f) $ so I get:
$$ n = n - k $$
$$ k = 0 $$
but firstly I am not sure if that is true, secondly it is only my intuitive try...

  • @ShubhamJohri The terms are defined in a general sense in category theory, but the exact definition one works with depends on the context. For linear maps, $f$ is a monomorphism if and only if it is injective (one-to-one), and $f$ is an epimorphism if and only if it is surjective (onto).

Your answers are correct.



The rank nullity theorem states that for linear maps $f: X to Y$, $dim ker(f) + dim operatorname{im}(f) = dim(X)$. So for this context, we have $k+ dim operatorname{im}(f) = n$.



For a: whatever your definition of a monomorphism, we should be able to conclude that $f$ is a monomorphism if and only if $ker(f) = {0}$, which is to say that $k=0$. The rank-nullity theorem confirms your intuition.



For b: whatever your definition of an epimorphism, we should be able to conclude that $f$ is an epimorphism if and only if $operatorname{im}(f) = Y$. So, $dim operatorname{im}(f) = dim Y$, and by the rank-nullity theorem $dim operatorname{im}(f) = n-k$.
