Abstract: Let T be a linear operator on an mathbbFq-vector space V of dimension n. For any divisor m of n, an m-dimensional subspace W of V is T-splitting if V =Woplus TWoplus cdots oplus T^{d-1}W, where d=n/m. Let sigma(m,d;T) denote the number of m-dimensional T-splitting subspaces. Determining sigma(m,d;T) for an arbitrary operator T is an open problem. This problem is closely related to another open problem on Krylov spaces. We discuss this connection and give explicit formulae for sigma(m,d;T) in the case where the invariant factors of T satisfy certain degree conditions. A connection with another enumeration problem on polynomial matrices is also discussed.
