Nov 20, 2012 at 17:28 comment added Eric Rowell In "$\Rightarrow$" you assume there is a basis with respect to which $X$ is diagonal and $Y$ is a monomial matrix. This is stronger than "simultaneously monomializable." Indeed, take $X,Y$ to be the $3\times 3$ permutation matrices corresponding to $(1\/2)$ and $(1\/2\/3)$. Then they are monomial in the standard basis, but $YXY^-1$ corresponds to $(2\/3)$, which does not commute with $(1\/2)$.
