VII-H@1#prop:infinite
On , the distributions
have normal order zero along , yet form an infinite-dimensional vector space. Even if their tangential support is restricted to one point, allowing arbitrary tangential distribution order remains infinite-dimensional.
Proof. Independent smooth functions give independent distributions, as follows by pairing with a test equal to one near . For the point-supported claim, the distributions
are independent, as monomial tests with a cutoff isolate their coefficients.
