Intersection of subspaces












1












$begingroup$


I am working on an example of vector spaces. I have the following question:



Let ${V_1,V_2,ldots,V_t}$ be a family of $n$-dimensional subspaces and the dimension intersection of any $n$ subspace is at least one. Is it true that



$dim bigcap^{i=t}_{i=1}V_igeq1$?



I have calculated $dim bigcap^{i=t}_{i=1}V_i$ for several spaces and all of spaces satisfied in $dim bigcap^{i=t}_{i=1}V_igeq1$.



Can anybody take counterexample?

    Each $V_i$ is $n$-dimensional. But you are taking exactly $n$ to take intersections?

Consider the vector space $mathbb{R}^3$. Let $t = 3$ and $n = 2$. Consider $V_1$ to be the $xy$ plane. $V_2$ to be the $xz$ plane. $V_3$ to be the $yz$ plane. All of these are $2$ dimensional subspaces. The intersection of any pair is one dimensional line. However the intersection of all three is just the origin which is not $1$-dimensional.
