(1). It is clear that we have a linear subspace. In order to prove the statement about the dimension, let  be an
direct complement

we have free choice. Therefore
 
(or on a basis thereof)
we have free choice. Therefore

and the statement follows from
fact.
(2). It is clear that we have a linear subspace. The natural mapping

of
fact   (2)
is injective in this case. Therefore,
-   
(3). It is clear that we have a linear subspace. In the finite-dimensional case, let
-   
be a direct sum decomposition. Due to 
fact,
we have
-   
and 
-   
Therefore, the dimension equals
-   
(4). Setting
-   
we have
 .
Hence, (4) follows from (3).

Hence, (4) follows from (3).
