Pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices, and Hilbert function (Q949598)

Let \(K\) be an infinite field. There has been recent study of the family \(H(n, K)\) of pairs of commuting nilpotent \(n \times n\) matrices. In the recent work, a pair of commuting nilpotent matrices \((A, B)\) is related to an Artinian algebra \(K[A, B]\). The authors include a brief summary of this connection in Section 2. Main results are outlined in Section 1.2. In Section 1.3 they prove those concerning stability. They study the Hilbert function strata in Section 2.1, and they prove their main results concerning pencils of nilpotent matrices in Section 2.2.
