For a nilpotent matrix A, are the cardinalities of sets: 1) B: commute with A, 2) B: anticommute with A, 3) B: q-commute with A — the same?

Let us work over finite fields $F_{p^k}$. Simulations seems to indicate: Question 1: Consider a nilpotent matrix $A$, consider the set of all matrices $B$, such that $AB-qBA=0$, then cardinality of ...

About nilpotent Jordan algebras, matrix representations and formally real algebras

Given an non-commutative associative unital algebra A of characteristic $0$, one can construct a Jordan algebra $A+$ using the same underlying addition vector space. Notice first that an associative ...

About indecomposability and nilpotence

Transferred from MSE where it now received a complete answer. Maybe the following is easy, but I am not an expert in finite-dimensional Lie algebras and was stuck on the following problem. Can ...
