On the weak Deligne-Simpson problem for index of rigidity 2
Abstract
We consider the weak version of the Deligne-Simpson problem: give necessary and sufficient conditions upon the conjugacy classes (resp. ) so that there exist -tuples of matrices , (resp. ) with trivial centralizers (i.e. reduced to scalars). The true Deligne-Simpson problem requires irreducibility instead of triviality of the centralizer. When the eigenvalues are generic, a Criterium on the Jordan normal forms defined by the conjugacy classes gives the necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of the true problem. For index of rigidity 2 (i.e. when the sum of the dimensions of the conjugacy classes equals ) we show that for a sufficiently large class of -tuples of conjugacy classes the answer to the weak problem is negative. These conjugacy classes define Jordan normal forms that satisfy the Criterium.
