Segre Characteristic Equivalence

General Mathematics 2025-06-17 v1

Abstract

Given only the dimension, nn, of a square matrix AM(n,C)A \in M(n,\mathbb{C}), how many Segre Characteristic equivalent matrices are there? Jordan Normal Form Theorem states that any linear operator over C\mathbb{C} is similar to a matrix in Jordan Normal Form. As such, this is a question of counting the number of possible Jordan Normal Forms for a given dimension. So, equivalently, how many Jordan Normal Forms can an n×nn\times n matrix possibly have?
