Let $K$ be a perfect field, $L$ be an extension field of $K$ and $A,B\in\mathcal{M}_n(K)$. If $A$ has $n$ distinct eigenvalues in $L$ that are explicitly known, then we can check if $A,B$ are simultaneously triangularizable over $L$. Now we assume that $A,B$ have a common invariant proper vector subspace of dimension $k$ over an extension field of $K$ and that $\chi_A$, the characteristic polynomial of $A$, is irreducible over $K$. Let $G$ be the Galois group of $\chi_A$. We show the following… CONTINUE READING
