Types of pairs of vectors over a finite field

ID: types-of-pairs-of-vectors-over-a-finite-field

For infinite spaces over a field of size , two-variable types are determined by the kernel of the linear map sending to . Its ranks give the zero pair, one-dimensional directions and the independent-pair type. All types are isolated by finite formulas. Quantifier elimination makes the Lindenbaum algebra their full power-set Boolean algebra. The one-variable algebra has just the zero and nonzero atoms, hence four Elements.
