SUMMARY:When are Commuting Matrices Simultaneously Diagonalisable?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Anamay Tengse\n\nAbstract: \nAbstract: Say we are "gi
 ven" a set of matrices S\, such that for any two matrices A and B from S\,
  we have AB=BA. What kind of "structure" can we assume for the matrices in
  S?\n\nIt can be shown that for any such set S\, there is a common basis u
 nder which every matrix in S will be _upper triangular_. One can also argu
 e that there are sets of commuting matrices which are not simultaneously _
 diagonalisable_.\n\nIn the talk\, we will first convince ourselves of the 
 above two facts. We will then see a sufficient criterion\, under which a s
 et S of commuting matrices are simultaneously diagonalisable.\nP.S.: I kno
 w the criterion from a work of Moller and Stetter (1995)\, but theirs is a
 lmost surely not the first work to observe this fact. Basic knowledge abou
 t polynomials and linear algebra will suffice to follow the talk.\n
