Characteristic subspaces and hyperinvariant frames

Abstract: Let

f

be an endomorphism of a finite dimensional vector space

V

over a field

K

. An

f

-invariant subspace of

V

is called hyperinvariant (respectively characteristic) if it is invariant under all endomorphisms (respectively automorphisms) that commute with

f

. We assume

| K | = 2

, since all characteristic subspaces are hyperinvariant if

| K | > 2

. The hyperinvariant hull

W^{h}

of a subspace

W

of

V

is defined to be the smallest hyperinvariant subspace of

V

that contains

W

, the hyperinvariant kernel

W_{H}

of

W

is the largest hyperinvariant subspace of

V

that is contained in

W

, and the pair

(W_{H}, W^{h})

is the hyperinvariant frame of

W

. In this paper we study hyperinvariant frames of characteristic non-hyperinvariant subspaces

W

. We show that all invariant subspaces in the interval

[W_{H}, W^{h}]

are characteristic. We use this result for the construction of characteristic non-hyperinvariant subspaces.
