Tensor of vector space [closed]
$begingroup$
Suppose that $V =text{span}(1,x)$ is a vector space over $frac{mathbb{Z}}{2mathbb{Z}} $ and let
$delta : V rightarrow Votimes V$
Such that $delta (1) = 1otimes x + xotimes 1$ and $delta (x) = x otimes x$.
What is the kernel of $delta$?

Do you know the dimension of $Votimes V$? Can you set up a basis?

basis of $V bigotimes V$ are $1otimes 1 , 1otimes x, x otimes 1$, and$ x otimes x$ /then kernel of $delta$ is zero.

Hint: To show that $delta$ has a trivial kernel, it suffices to show that $delta(1)$ and $delta(x)$ are linearly independent.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Almost. This isn't true when (say) $x=0$.

@Omnomnomnom exactly right. this question related to khovanov homology and x is a formal symbol.
