On combinatorial algebras generated by three commuting matrices

Abstract

Motzkin and Taussky (and independently, Gerstenhaber) proved that the unital algebra generated by a pair of commuting d×dd\times d matrices over a field has dimension at most dd. Since then, it has remained an open problem to determine whether the analogous statement is true for triples of matrices which pairwise commute. We answer this question for combinatorially-motivated classes of such triples.
