Show that the tensor product is not, in general, commutative.
Let \(S \subseteq U\) and \(T \subseteq V\) be subspaces of vector spaces \(U\) and \(V\), respectively. Show that $$ (S \otimes V) \cap(U \otimes T) \approx S \otimes T $$
Let \(\mathcal{B}=\left\\{u_{i} \mid i \in I\right\\}\) be a basis for \(U\) and let \(\mathcal{C}=\left\\{v_{j} \mid j \in J\right\\}\) be a basis for \(V\). Show that the set $$ \mathcal{D}=\left\\{u_{i} \otimes v_{j} \mid i \in I, j \in J\right\\} $$ is a basis for \(U \otimes V\) by showing that it is linearly independent and spans.
Suppose that \(\tau_{1}: U \rightarrow V, \tau_{2}: V \rightarrow W\) and \(\sigma_{1}: U^{\prime} \rightarrow V_{K}, \sigma_{2}: V_{K} \rightarrow W^{\prime}\). Prove that $$ \left(\tau_{2} \circ \tau_{1}\right) \odot\left(\sigma_{2} \circ \sigma_{1}\right)=\left(\tau_{2} \odot \sigma_{2}\right) \circ\left(\tau_{1} \odot \sigma_{1}\right) $$
Let \(\mathcal{B}=\left\\{b_{i}\right\\}\) be a basis for \(U\) and \(\mathcal{C}=\left\\{c_{i}\right\\}\) be a basis for \(V\). Show that any function \(f: \mathcal{B} \times \mathcal{C} \rightarrow W\) can be extended to a linear function \(\bar{f}: U \otimes V \rightarrow W\). Deduce that the function \(f\) can be extended in a unique way to a bilinear map \(\widehat{f}: U \times V \rightarrow W\). Show that all bilinear maps are obtained in this way.
