The commutation conjecture for generic commuting matrix equations
The commutation conjecture for generic commuting matrix equations
Let be a field, let be a nonzero polynomial in the noncommuting indeterminates such that
for every , the indeterminate appears exactly once in , and the degree of with respect to is . Let be generic commuting matrices, and consider
in the unknown . The commutation conjecture. Every solution commutes with each and with . Numerical experiments, including experiments for a quartic equation when , suggest this statement, but the supplied text does not establish it in general.
