Example 1.
Let be a 4-dimensional space, let be the vector space of 1-forms on and let be the vector space of 2-forms on . Fix a 1-form on , and define We find the null space and image space of .
Example 2.
Let be a 3-dimensional space, let be the vector space of covariant rank 2 tensors on We define to be the symmetrization operation, that is, for , define . We find the null space and image space for .
The null space of is the space of skew-symmetric tensors,
and the image space is the space of symmetric tensors.
