On maximal distances in a commuting graph

Rings and Algebras 2010-09-29 v1

Abstract

We study maximal distances in the commuting graphs of matrix algebras defined over algebraically closed fields. In particular, we show that the maximal distance can be attained only between two nonderogatory matrices. We also describe rank-one and semisimple matrices using the distances in the commuting graph.
