Abstract

Given a number field kk with the ring of integers Ok\mathcal{O}_k and a matrix MMn(Ok)M\in \mathrm{M}_{n}(\mathcal{O}_k). We prove that if Ok\mathcal{O}_k is a principal ideal domain, the local-global principle for triangularizability and diagonalizability of MM holds. To explain the possible failures of the local-global principle, we prove that the stratified Brauer--Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the local-global principle for triangularizability and diagonalizability of MM in some special cases.
