Let X be any real or complex Banach space. If T is a bounded linear operator on X then denote by N(T) the null space of T and by R(T) the range space of T.

Now if X is finite dimensional and N(T) = N(T2) then also R(T) = R(T2). Therefore X admits a direct sum decomposition

.

Indeed it is easy to see that N(T) = N(T2) implies that and, using dimension theory of finite dimensional spaces, that N(T) and R(T) span the whole space (see, for example, (2, pp. 271–73))
