Suppose $V$ is finite-dimensional with dim $V gt 0$, and $W$ is infinite dimensional. Prove that $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ is infinite dimensional. (The question is from Linear Algebra Done Right)



My trial (I tried to prove by contradiction. But I am not sure whether this is correct):



Suppose $V$ is finite-dimensional with dim $V gt 0$, and $W$ is infinite dimensional. Suppose $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ is finite dimensional. Let $T_1, T_2, ..., T_n$ be the basis of $mathcal{L}(V,W)$. Then $Tv = span(T_1,...,T_n)$.



Define $T_j(v_j) = w_j $ for $j = 1,...,n$. Then $Tv = W = span(w_1,...,w_n)$. That contradicts with the assumption that $W$ is infinite dimensional.



I am not sure whether this is correct. I am not sure whether $Tv = W$ is correct. Should it be range $T$ but not $W$?

          Apart from the choice of words (a basis of $mathcal{L}(V,W)$, not the basis), the proof is not good.



          The idea is good, though. Suppose $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ is finite dimensional. We want to show that also $W$ is. To this end, choose a basis ${T_1,dots,T_n}$ of $mathcal{L}(V,W)$. Set
          $$
          W_0=operatorname{span}{T_i(v_j)mid 1le ile n, 1le jle m},
          $$

          where ${v_1,dots,v_m}$ is a basis of $V$. We want to show that $W_0=W$. If not, take $win W$, $wnotin W_0$. Then we can define a linear map $Tcolon Vto W$ by
          $$
          T(v_j)=w
          $$

          Since ${T_1,dots,T_n}$ is supposed to be a basis of $mathcal{L}(V,W)$, we have
          $$
          T=a_1T_1+a_2T_2+dots+a_nT_n
          $$

          which easily leads to a contradiction.

            There is no such thing as the basis of $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ and you don't say what $Tv$ is.



            Let $S$ be an infinite linearly independent subset of $W$ and let ${e_1,ldots,e_n}$ be a basis of $V$. For each $vin S$, let $f_vcolon Vlongrightarrow W$ be the linear map such that $f_v(e_j)=v$, for each $jin{1,ldots,n}$. It follows from the fact that $S$ is lenarly independent that ${f_v,|,vin S}$ is linearly independent too. Since $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ contains an infinite linearly independent subset, it is infinite-dimensional.

              Let $n=dim V;(>0)$. If $K$ is the base field, we have an isomorphism $varphi: V stackrel{sim:}longrightarrow K^n$, whence an isomorphism $;mathscr L(K^n,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow}mathscr L(V,W)$.



              Now we have canonical isomorphisms:
              $$mathscr L(K^n,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow}bigl(mathscr L(K,W)bigr)^nquadtext{and}quadmathscr L(K,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow} W, $$
              so that ultimately
              $$mathscr L(V,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow} W^n.$$

                        Let $S$ be an infinite linearly independent subset of $W$ and let ${e_1,ldots,e_n}$ be a basis of $V$. For each $vin S$, let $f_vcolon Vlongrightarrow W$ be the linear map such that $f_v(e_j)=v$, for each $jin{1,ldots,n}$. It follows from the fact that $S$ is lenarly independent that ${f_v,|,vin S}$ is linearly independent too. Since $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ contains an infinite linearly independent subset, it is infinite-dimensional.

                            There is no such thing as the basis of $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ and you don't say what $Tv$ is.



                            Let $S$ be an infinite linearly independent subset of $W$ and let ${e_1,ldots,e_n}$ be a basis of $V$. For each $vin S$, let $f_vcolon Vlongrightarrow W$ be the linear map such that $f_v(e_j)=v$, for each $jin{1,ldots,n}$. It follows from the fact that $S$ is lenarly independent that ${f_v,|,vin S}$ is linearly independent too. Since $mathcal{L}(V,W)$ contains an infinite linearly independent subset, it is infinite-dimensional.

                                Let $n=dim V;(>0)$. If $K$ is the base field, we have an isomorphism $varphi: V stackrel{sim:}longrightarrow K^n$, whence an isomorphism $;mathscr L(K^n,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow}mathscr L(V,W)$.



                                Now we have canonical isomorphisms:
                                $$mathscr L(K^n,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow}bigl(mathscr L(K,W)bigr)^nquadtext{and}quadmathscr L(K,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow} W, $$
                                so that ultimately
                                $$mathscr L(V,W)stackrel{sim:}{longrightarrow} W^n.$$
