<p>Hey I have this question from Universal Algebra texts where you can see groups, rings, lattices and other structures as Universal Algebras, but I still don't have clear how vector spaces can be viewed in this way (taking into account that all the operations in an Universal Algebra are internal: i.e, from $A^n$ to $A$)</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Dan</p>

<p>Hey I am looking at some exercise but I don't have any clue of how to solve it. It says: Let G be an infinite finitely generated abelian group and let T be the set of all the elements of G of finite order. Show that G/T is a free abelian group.</p> <p>Please, any help is welcome.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dan</p>

<p>Hi everybody, I've got an exercise about Banach spaces and I can't see how to solve it. It is a very simple problem and I know it might be some little detail I'm missing, and that is why I'm asking for help.</p> <p>It says:</p> <blockquote> <p>Let X be a Banach space with a monotone basis. Let $&sigma;$ be the set of all finite block bases in the unit ball of X that contain at least one vector x_i of norm 1. Suppose (y'₁, z'₁, y'₂, z'₂,...,y'_n, z'_n) is in $&sigma;$. Prove that the norms <code>$\Vert \sum_{i=1}^n (y'_i + z'_i)\Vert$</code> and <code>$\Vert \sum_{i=1}^n (y_i' - z'_i)\Vert $</code> are both at least 1/2.</p> </blockquote> <p>Any help is welcome. </p> <p>Thanks.</p>

yes Mark, is a homework question, and this is how I obtained my Bachelor in Mathematics for sure, thanks to mathoverflow answers... I have to tell you 2 things: First, It is foolish to think that a real mathematician would rely a forum in order to obtain a grade for a homework. And second, if that would be the case, It is my problem, not yours. It is selfish to &quot;vote to close&quot; for a question about an exercise. I think that the knowledge is for sharing, and THAT IS WHAT FORUMS ARE FOR (in case you haven't realise it). It is a shame that people like you do not allow the progress of the others.

When you say 'tail', you mean...?

No it isn't. It is part of a series of lemmas I'm trying to stablish for proving a theorem in other way. I would appreciate the hint, thanks for your interest.
