Abstract

Let X, \({\widetilde X}\) be commuting nilpotent matrices over k with nilpotency p t , where k is an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. We show that if \({X- \widetilde X}\) is a certain linear combination of products of pairwise commuting nilpotent matrices, then X is of maximal rank if and only if \({\widetilde X}\) is of maximal rank.
