Normal forms of endomorphism-valued power series

Abstract

We show for n,k1n,k\geq1, and an nn-dimensional complex vector space VV that if an element AEnd(V)[[z]]A\in\text{End}(V)[[z]] has constant term similar to a Jordan block, then there exists a polynomial gauge transformation gg such that the first kk coefficients of gAg1gAg^{-1} have a controlled normal form. Furthermore, we show that this normal form is unique by demonstrating explicit relationships between the first nknk coefficients of the Puiseux series expansion of the eigenvalues of AA and the entries of the first kk coefficients of gAg1gAg^{-1}.
