The Jordan forms of AB and BA
نویسنده
چکیده
The relationship between the Jordan forms of the matrix products AB and BA for some given A and B was first described by Harley Flanders in 1951. Their non-zero eigenvalues and non-singular Jordan structures are the same, but their singular Jordan block sizes can differ by 1. We present an elementary proof that owes its simplicity to a novel use of the Weyr characteristic.

Left derivable or Jordan left derivable mappings on Banach algebras
Let $mathcal{A}$ be a unital Banach algebra, $mathcal{M}$ be a left $mathcal{A}$-module, and $W$ in $mathcal{Z}(mathcal{A})$ be a left separating point of $mathcal{M}$. We show that if $mathcal{M}$ is a unital left $mathcal{A}$-module and $delta$ is a linear mapping from $mathcal{A}$ into $mathcal{M}$, then the following four conditions are equivalent: (i) $delta$ is a Jordan left de...

and call the former the Jordan product and the latter the commutator or Lie product of a and b. If we use {ab} as product in place of the originally defined ab we obtain the Jordan ring 21/ determined by 21. Similarly the Lie ring 2tj is obtained by using [ab] in place of ab. Naturally if 21 has characteristic 2 then 21/=21*. I t is customary to exclude this case from consideration but in most ...
متن کاملCharacterizations of Jordan derivations on triangular rings: Additive maps Jordan derivable at idempotents
Let T be a triangular ring. An additive map δ from T into itself is said to be Jordan derivable at an element Z ∈ T if δ(A)B +Aδ(B) + δ(B)A+Bδ(A) = δ(AB+BA) for any A,B ∈ T with AB + BA = Z. An element Z ∈ T is called a Jordan all-derivable point of T if every additive map Jordan derivable at Z is a Jordan derivation. In this paper, we show that some idempotents in T are Jordan all-derivable po...
