Abstract: We introduce and study the following relation between 2 linear functions f,g on a vector space of dimension d<=3: exp(tf+g)=exp(tf)exp(g) for every t an integer. If d=2 then f,g are simultaneously trigonalizable. If d=3 the same relation holds given a supplementary condition. In this manner we can avoid the postulate 2i(Pi) congruence free which has been used by researchers since 1954.

Review text

We deal with square matrices \(A, B\) of dimension \(d = 2\) or \(3\), over the complex field, such that \(AB\neq BA\). We introduce the relations \(G_t:\exp(tA+B)=\exp(tA)\exp(B)\) and \(G_t':\exp(tA+B)= \exp(tA)\exp(B)=\exp(B)\exp(tA)\). In dimension 2, we characterize the \((A, B)\) couples satisfying \(G_t\) for any \(t \in \mathbb N\). In dimension 2 or 3, we show that if \(G_t'\) is satisfied for any \(t \in \mathbb N\) then \(A\) and \(B\) are simultaneously triangularizable. In this manner we do not need the \(2i\pi\)-congruence-free postulate anymore, which has been supposed by researchers since 1954.
