    Q1: Let $X,Y$ be two vector spaces. What do we mean be a homomorphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$?

    A1: A linear map.

    A2: A bijective map.

    A3: A injective map.

    A4: A surjective map.

    A5: A bounded map.

    Q2: Let $X,Y$ be two vector spaces. What do we mean be an isomorphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$?

    A1: A linear map that is also bijective.

    A2: A linear map.

    A3: A injective map that is also linear.

    A4: A surjective map that is also bounded.

    A5: A bounded map.

    Q3: Let $X,Y$ be two Banach spaces. What do we mean be an isomorphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$ between Banach spaces?

    A1: A linear bijective map with $| f(x) | = | x |$ for all $x \in X$.

    A2: A linear map with $| f(x) | = | x |$ for all $x \in X$.

    A3: A linear bijective map with $| f^{-1} (y) | = 0$ for all $y \in Y$.

    A4: A linear bijective map with $|f \circ f^{-1} (y) | = | x |$ for all $y \in Y$.

    Q4: Let $X,Y$ be two Banach spaces with $X = \mathbb{C}^3$ and $Y = \mathbb{C}^4$. Can we have a Banach space isomorphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$?

    A1: No, because the dimensions don’t fit.

    A2: Yes, one can always find such an isomorphism.

    A3: It depends on the norm on $X$ and $Y$.
