Jordan types commuting with a hook partition

Abstract

We give a complete classification of the Jordan types occurring in the nilpotent commutator of a nilpotent matrix whose Jordan type is a hook partition. As a consequence, we also show that two partitions with the same generic commuting Jordan type need not commute with each other.
