Linear algebra for the constant-rank theorem #
The lemmas here isolate the finite-dimensional arguments used in the analytic
constant-rank proof: invariance of range dimension under injective/surjective
composition, a vertical-kernel criterion, and canonical product coordinates on
Fin (r + k) → ℂ.
Range dimension for a continuous complex-linear map between arbitrary complex normed spaces.
Equations
Instances For
Surjective precomposition does not change range dimension.
Injective postcomposition does not change range dimension.
If the first component of B : U × V → U × W is the first
projection and B has the minimal possible rank dim U, then every vertical
vector is killed by B.
Canonically concatenate an r-tuple and a k-tuple.

Concatenating the first block of a vector with a zero block is precisely the standard rank map.
The preceding coordinate calculation after arbitrary linear coordinate choices on the three factors. The same equivalence is used on the rank factor in source and target.
