Consider a system of N linear transformations A1, … , AN: V → W, where F and IF are complex vector spaces. Denote it for short by (F, W). A pair of subspaces X ⊂ V, Y ⊂ W such that determines a subsystem (X, Y) and a quotient system (V/X, W/Y) (with the induced transformations). The subsystem (X, Y) is of finite codimension in (V, W) if and only if V/X and W / Y are finite-dimensional. It is a direct summand of (V, W) in case there exist supplementary subspaces P of X in F and Q of F in IF such that (P, Q) is a subsystem.
