Spaces of matrices with few eigenvalues (II)

Rings and Algebras 2026-05-08 v1

Abstract

Let FF be a field, and M\mathcal{M} be a linear subspace of nn-by-nn matrices with entries in FF that have at most two eigenvalues in FF (respectively, at most one non-zero eigenvalue in FF). In a previous article, we have determined the greatest possible dimension for M\mathcal{M} when the characteristic of FF is not 22. In this article and its sequel, we solve this problem for all fields with characteristic 22.
