The eigenspace of a linear transformation is a nontrivial subspace.

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

For eigenvalue $\lambda$, $E_\lambda(T)$ is nonzero because an eigenvector exists. It is a subspace because it is the kernel of the linear operator $T-\lambda I$. If $\lambda$ is not an eigenvalue, this kernel is instead the zero subspace.
