Estimation of maximal dimensions of commutable matrix spaces (Q2706648)

Let \({\mathcal W}\) be a subspace of \({\mathcal M}_n(C)\), the \(n\)th-order matrix space on the complex field. If \(AB=BA\), \(\forall A,B\in {\mathcal W}\), \({\mathcal W}\) is called a commutable matrix space (CMS) of \({\mathcal M}_n(C)\). Among all CMS of \({\mathcal M}_n(C)\), there exists a CMS with maximal dimensions, denoted by \({\mathcal W}^{(n)}_{\max}\), and the maximal dimensions by \(d_{\max}^{ (n)}\). In this paper, the author continues the work \((d_{\max}^{(2)}=2\), \(d_{\max}^{(3)}=3\), and \(d_{\max}^{(4)}=5)\) in his previous paper [J. Shanghai Univ. Nat. Sci. 3, No. 4, 386-393 (1997; Zbl 0979.15502) (in Chinese)] and confines his attention to study \(d^{(n)}_{\max}\), and to give some estimates: \(7\leq d_{\max}^{(5)}\leq 10\) and \(10\leq d^{(6)}_{\max}\leq 17\).
