Irreducibility criterion for the set of two matrices

Representation Theory 2008-11-02 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We give the criterion for the irreducibility, the Schur irreducibility and the indecomposability of the set of two n×nn\times n matrices Λn\Lambda_n and AnA_n in terms of the subalgebra associated with the "support" of the matrix AnA_n, where Λn\Lambda_n is a diagonal matrix with different non zeros eigenvalues and AnA_n is an arbitrary one. The list of all maximal subalgebras of the algebra Mat(n,C){\rm Mat}(n,{\mathbb C}) and the list of the corresponding invariant subspaces connected with these two matrices is also given. The properties of the corresponding subalgebras are expressed in terms of the graphs associated with the support of the second matrix. For arbitrary nn we describe all minimal subsets of the elementary matrices EkmE_{km} that generate the algebra Mat(n,C){\rm Mat}(n,{\mathbb C}).
