The problem of classifying tuples of nilpotent matrices over a field under simultaneous conjugation is considered "hopeless". However, for any given matrix order over a finite field, the number of concerned orbits is always finite. This…

Subsets of a matrix algebra over a field that are invariant under conjugation and contain the linear span of each two of their commuting elements are described. They obviously include the subsets of diagonalizable and nilpotent matrices. In…

Let K be an infinite field and denote by H(n,K) the family of pairs (A,B) of commuting nilpotent n by n matrices with entries in K. There has been substantial recent study of the connection between H(n,K) and the fibre H[n] of the punctual…
