设A是复数域C上的n阶方阵.本文中确定方程[A,[A,X]]=0的解空间的一组基以及维数.方程[A,[A,X]]=0的解空间即线性空间Mn×n(C)上线性变换φA(X)=[A,X]=AX-XA平方的核空间.
Let C be the complex number field. Suppose that A∈Mn × n( C). Define a transformation φAof Mn × n( C) by φA( X) =[A,X]= AX- XA for X∈M2n × n( C). The basis and dimension of the kernel Ker( φA) ofφ2Aare determined explicitly,which refines some known results.
