A note on Potter’s theorem for quasi-commutative matrices

چکیده
We discuss the converse of a theorem of Potter stating that if the matrix equation AB = ωBA is satisfied with ω a primitive qth root of unity, then Aq+Bq = (A+B)q. We show that both conditions have to be modified to get a converse statement and we present a characterization when the converse holds for these modified conditions and q = 3 and a conjecture for the general case. We also present some further partial results and conjectures.

متن کاملA note on approximation conditions, standard triangularizability and a power set topology
The main result of this article is that for collections of entry-wise non-negative matrices the property of possessing a standard triangularization is stable under approximation. The methodology introduced to prove this result allows us to offer quick proofs of the corresponding results of [B. R. Yahaghi, Near triangularizability implies triangularizability, Canad. Math. Bull. 47, (2004), no. 2...
متن کاملCommuting Pairs and Triples of Matrices and Related Varieties
In this note, we show that the set of all commuting d-tuples of commuting n × n matrices that are contained is an n-dimensional commutative algebra is a closed set, and therefore, Gerstenhaber’s theorem on commuting pairs of matrices is a consequence of the irreducibility of the variety of commuting pairs. We show that the variety of commuting triples of 4×4 matrices is irreducible. We also stu...
متن کاملA brief introduction to quaternion matrices and linear algebra and on bounded groups of quaternion matrices
The division algebra of real quaternions, as the only noncommutative normed division real algebra up to isomorphism of normed algebras, is of great importance. In this note, first we present a brief introduction to quaternion matrices and quaternion linear algebra. This, among other things, will help us present the counterpart of a theorem of Herman Auerbach in the setting of quaternions. More ...
