The left null space of a matrix A consists of all vectors x such that xTA = 0T, where T denotes the transpose of a column vector. The left null space of A is the same as the null space of AT. The left null space of A is the orthogonal complement to the column space of A, and is the cokernel of the associated linear transformation. The null space, the row space, the column space, and the left null space of A are the four fundamental subspaces associated to the matrix A.
