Is is true that $$ z \in \mathbb{R}^n, \forall u,v \in \mathbb{R}^n, \langle u,z\rangle = \langle v,z\rangle \implies u = v $$ i.e. if two inner products with fixed vector $ z $ are equal so that $ u $ and $ v $ are equals.

    Why don't you use a "cross" to denote the cross product? i.e $u \times z$ instead of $$. It's not a suggestion ; I'm really wondering why you do that.2012-10-21

    And a more subtle question: why $$ instead of $\langle u,z \rangle$? ;-)2012-10-22

For cross products, the answer is "no".

However, based on your notation, and the fact that you're talking about $\mathbb{R}^n$ rather than $\mathbb{R}^3$ (cross product defined specifically for $n=3$), it seems you may actually be asking about the inner product.

In that case, the answer is still "no".

    You can provide counter-examples to support your claim.2012-10-22

    @Artem: For the cross product, let $z = (1,0,0)$ and $u = (a,1,0)$, $v = (b,1,0)$ for any $a \ne b$. For the dot product, let $z = (1,0,0)$ and $u = (1,a,b)$, $v = (1,c,d)$ for $(a,b)\ne(c,d)$.2012-10-23

    @RahulNarain seems it is you who should get a credit for an answer. Are there any conditions to be imposed on $u$ and $v$ so that implication would be true?2012-10-23

    @Artem: Seeing as you still fail to clarify whether you mean the cross product or the inner product, I cannot answer your question.2012-10-23

    @RahulNarain the inner product. I did the edit.2012-10-24
