Algebra with elements x, y such that r(x)=r(y) for all finite-dimensional modules r

I'm interested in finding an algebra with elements x,y which are identified by every finite-dimensional module. I'm primarily interested in the case that everything is over the complex field, but answ …

Little conjecture about sums of reciprocals

Given a finite list $x_i$ of $N$ positive reals, it seems that $\sum_{i=1}^N x_i = \sum_{i=1}^N x_i {}^{-1} \Rightarrow \sum_{i=1}^N x_i \geq N$. Can anyone give me a proof?

Partial isometries making families of linearly independent vectors orthogonal

Suppose I have a family of $n$ linearly-independent elements $v_i$ of the Hilbert space $\mathbb{C}^m$, which are not necessarily orthogonal. Can I always find a partial isometry $f: \mathbb{C} ^m \to …
