In mathematics, specifically linear algebra and geometry, relative dimension is the dual notion to codimension. In linear algebra, given a quotient map , the difference dim ''V'' − dim ''Q'' is the relative dimension; this equals the dimension of the kernel. In fiber bundles, the relative dimension of the map is the dimension of the fiber. More abstractly, the codimension of a map is the dimension of the cokernel, while the relative dimension of a map is the dimension of the kernel. These are dual in that the inclusion of a subspace of codimension ''k'' dualizes to yield a quotient map of relative dimension ''k'', and conversely. The additivity of codimension under intersection corresponds to the additivity of relative dimension in a fiber product. Just as codimension is mostly used for injective maps, relative dimension is mostly used for surjective maps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Relative dimension」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
