universal property of the quotient space via homomorphiesatz
Proposition
Let be vector spaces and
the kanonical projection.
Then precomposition induces a vectorspace-isomorphism
Warning
the proof consists purely of diagram chasing.
I think the proof injectivity is a bit absurd (albeit interesting)
There exist less abstract proofs :)
Proof
welldefined
We want to show that the map induced by precomposition restricts appropriately and that the RHS is a sub vector space.
sub vector space
restricts appropriately

bijective
setup
Let with
.
Then in particular .
We will denote by the canonical projections to the quotient space
Furthermore we get a diagram
where is the vectorspace-isomorphism given by the second isomorphism
In particular we may identify the composition with
injective - extra warning
Suppose with
.
Then using our setup gives
in particular with where we use that
is surjective.
Now the homomorphiesatz gives homomorphisms such that
commutes.
Under the canonical isomorphism by we get maps
which are given as composition
In particular
commutes.
Now those maps are also maps making
commute, so uniqueness of the Homomorphiesatz shows .
Now
commutes, which shows that .
And at last we know that
commutes, so in particular what we wanted to show.
surjective
Now the Homomorphiesatz shows that there exists a unique map making the diagram commute
We claim that the composite is a preimage of
.
This follows from
