Jan 6, 2011 at 23:01 comment added Wadim Zudilin The problem isn't well stated. Are $A_1,\dots,A_k$ commuting? What happens if one simply takes $P_j=(1+\delta)A_j$ for a suitable infinitesimal $\delta$?

Jan 6, 2011 at 20:35 comment added Aaron Meyerowitz @Denis If $A_1$ and $A_2$ are 2 by 2 with constant diagonals, one upper triangular and the other lower, then they span all 2 by 2 matrices. They might be perturbed diagonal matrices.
Jan 6, 2011 at 20:10 comment added Denis Serre Well, $A_1,\ldots,A_n$ span a commutative sub-algebra. Just take $P_1,\ldots,P_n$ in the same subspace.
