Abstract: Let k be a field. We consider triples (V,U,T), where V is a finite dimensional k-space, U a subspace of V and T:VoV a linear operator with Tn=0 for some n, and such that T(U)subseteqU. Thus, T is a nilpotent operator on V, and U is an invariant subspace with respect to T. We will discuss the question whether it is possible to classify these triples. These triples (V,U,T) are the objects of a category with the Krull-Remak-Schmidt property, thus it will be sufficient to deal with indecomposable triples. Obviously, the classification problem depends on n, and it will turn out that the decisive case is n=6. For n<6, there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposables triples, whereas for n>6 we deal with what is called ``wild representation type, so no complete classification can be expected. For n=6, we will exhibit a complete description of all the indecomposable triples.
