Problem Statement

Let VV be a 10-dimensional real vector space and U1,U2U_1,U_2 two linear subspaces such that U1U2,dimU1=3,dimU2=6U_1 \subseteq U_2, \dim U_1 =3, \dim U_2=6. Let ε\varepsilon be the set of all linear maps T:VVT: V\rightarrow V which have T(U1)U1,T(U2)U2T(U_1)\subseteq U_1, T(U_2)\subseteq U_2. Calculate the dimension of ε\varepsilon. (again, all as real vector spaces)
