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 $M_n(\mathbb{F})$ denote the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic different from $2$. For $n \ge 2$, we classify all maps $\phi : M_n(\mathbb{F}) \to M_n(\mathbb{F})$…

We consider a family of pairs of m-by-p and m-by-q matrices, in which some entries are required to be zero and the others are arbitrary, with respect to transformations (A,B)--> (SAR,SBL) with nonsingular S, R, L. We prove that almost all…

We present matrix identities which yield respectively the Jordan canonical form of the Pascal matrix P_n = (i -1 choose j -1)_{1 <= i,j <= n} modulo a prime, the eigenvectors of (i choose j)_{1 <= i,j <= n}, and the Smith normal form of…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p \ge 0. We shall consider the problem of finding out a Jordan canonical form of J(\alpha,s) \otimes_{k} J(\beta,t), where J(\alpha,s) means the Jordan block with eigenvalue \alpha…

In this paper we classify the laws of three-dimensional and four-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras over the field of complex numbers. We describe the irreducible components of their algebraic varieties and extend contractions and…

For a complex nilpotent finite dimensional Lie algebra of matrices,and a Jordan-H\"older basis of it, we prove a spectral radius formula which extends a well-known result for commuting matrices.

It is proved that any Rota---Baxter operator of zero weight on Jordan algebra of a nondegenerate bilinear symmetric form is nilpotent of index less or equal three. We state exact value of nilpotency index on simple Jordan algebra of…

We study the structure of the nilpotent commutator $\nb$ of a nilpotent matrix $B$. We show that $\nb$ intersects all nilpotent orbits for conjugation if and only if $B$ is a square--zero matrix. We describe nonempty intersections of $\nb$…

We prove that if $\mathfrak{s}$ is a solvable Lie algebra of matrices over a field of characteristic 0, and $A\in\mathfrak{s}$, then the semisimple and nilpotent summands of the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of $A$ belong to $\mathfrak{s}$…

We give a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces in terms of direct integrals. Precisely, we study the uniqueness of strongly irreducible…

We exhibit Osserman metrics with non-nilpotent Jacobi operators and with non-trivial Jordan normal form in neutral signature (n,n) for any n which is at least 3. These examples admit a natural almost para-Hermitian structure and are semi…

We study the matrix equation $XA-AX=X^p$ in $M_n(K)$ for $1< p <n$. It is shown that every matrix solution $X$ is nilpotent and that the generalized eigenspaces of $A$ are $X$-invariant. For $A$ being a full Jordan block we describe how to…

The Jordan type of a nilpotent matrix is the partition giving the sizes of its Jordan blocks. We study pairs of partitions $(P,Q)$, where $Q={\mathcal Q}(P)$ is the Jordan type of a generic nilpotent matrix A commuting with a nilpotent…

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…

We obtain the generic real Jordan canonical forms for $n\times n$ matrices with real entries. More precisely, we prove that the set of $n\times n$ real matrices is the union of the closures of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$ sets, which are called…

In this paper, the well-known Faulkner construction is revisited and adapted to include the super case, which gives a bijective correspondence between generalized Jordan (super)pairs and faithful Lie (super)algebra (super)modules, under…

We find the normal form of nilpotent elements in semisimple Lie algebras that generalizes the Jordan normal form in $\mathfrak{sl}_N$, using the theory of cyclic elements.

We initiate the study of modules of constant Jordan type for quantum complete intersections, and prove a range of basic properties. We then show that for these algebras, constant Jordan type is an invariant of Auslander-Reiten components.…

We study the category of representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_{m+2n}$ in positive characteristic, whose p-character is a nilpotent whose Jordan type is the two-row partition (m+n,n). In a previous paper with Anno, we used…
