 Decomposition of the Kronecker sums of matrices into a direct sum of irreducible matrices Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 2021 Vol. 58, No. 3, 637-657 https://doi.org/10.4134/BKMS.b200437Published online February 24, 2021Printed May 31, 2021 Caixing Gu, Jaehui Park, Chase Peak, Jordan Rowley California Polytechnic State University; Seoul National University; California Polytechnic State University; California Polytechnic State University Abstract : In this paper, we decompose (under unitary similarity) the Kronecker sum $A\boxplus A$ ($=A\otimes I+I\otimes A$) into a direct sum of irreducible matrices, when $A$ is a $3\times3$ matrix. As a consequence we identify $\mathcal{K}(A\boxplus A)$ as the direct sum of several full matrix algebras as predicted by Artin--Wedderburn theorem, where $\mathcal{K}(T)$ is the unital algebra generated by $T$ and $T^{*}$. Keywords : Irreducible operator, unitary similarity, Kronecker sum, symmetric tensor MSC numbers : Primary 47A15, 15A21; Secondary 47L40, 15A69 Supported by : We thank Bill and Linda Frost Fund for the Frost Student Research Award to fund this project.
