\bigoplus
The \bigoplus symbol represents the direct sum of a family of objects, often used in the context of vector spaces, modules, or other algebraic structures. It is an operator that combines several objects into a new, larger object, preserving certain properties of the original objects.
Direct sum of two vector spaces V_1 and V_2.
V = V_1 \bigoplus V_2
Direct sum of three algebraic structures A, B, and C.
A \bigoplus B \bigoplus C
Direct sum of a sequence of vector spaces indexed by i from 1 to n.
