How can I show that there exists a nonzero vector $x$ such that, provided $(I - M)$ is not invertible, we have $(I - M)x = 0$?



I'm not sure about how to go about this. I think that I'll need to use the fact that $(I - M)$ is not invertible, but I have no idea where.



Any help is appreciated.

Assume that $I-M$ is not invertible. Then, $I-M$ is not an injection (aka not 1-to-1) (see here) and so there exists $u$ and $v$ with $uneq v$ such that $(I-M)v = (I-M)u$. Thus $(I-M)(u-v) = 0$ and by assumption $uneq v$ so $u-vneq 0$.

    Let $M:ell_2rightarrow ell_2$ be given by $Me_i=e_i-e_i+1$, where $e_i$ is the standard unit vector. Then $(I-M)$ is given by $(I-M)e_i=e_i+1$. Note that $(I-M)$ is not invertible as there is no $xinell_2$ such that $(I-M)x=e_1$, but $(I-M)xneq 0$ for all $xneq 0$.
