Linear spaces of nilpotent matrices (Q755838)

The authors consider several questions on spaces of nilpotent matrices. Some sufficient conditions for triangularizability and some examples of irreducible spaces are given. The authors give also a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the trace, for all linear combinations of a given set of operators to be nilpotent. In addition, the dimension of the space of nilpotents on \(F^ n\) is considered, where F is a field.
