Question

Let V be an infinite dimensional real vector space with a basis e1,e2,e3 . . . and let End(V) denote the set of linear transformations of T, i.e.,
End(V) = {T : V → V | T is a linear transformation}.
Define the elements A and B of End V by
A(ei) = ei+1 for i = 1, 2, . . . ;            B(e1) = 0, B(ei) = ei−1 for i = 2, 3, . . . .
(a) Show that End(V ) is a ring with the usual addition and composition as multiplication.
(b) Show that BA = 1End(V). Are A and B inverse to each other?
(c) Assume that AC = 0End(V). Prove that C = 0End(V). Give an example of D ≠ 0End(V) such that DA = 0End(V).
