    The fact that for any linear operator \(A\) on a finite-dimensional complex vector space, the lattice of invariant subspaces of \(A\) coincides with the set of ranges of the operators which commute with \(A\), was pointed out by \textit{P. R. Halmos} [Linear Algebra Appl. 4, 11-15 (1971; Zbl 0264.15001)]. In the paper under review, this fact is proved using some basic ideas belonging to the structure theory of Abelian groups.
