Decomposition of invariant subspaces












0












$begingroup$


Consider a set of $d$ linearly independent generalized eigenvectors of some matrix $A in mathbb{C}^{d times d}$. Suppose this set is decomposed into $M$ distinct Jordan chains and the $m$-th Jordan chain has $N(m)$ vectors in it.



Consider $A$-invariant sets of the form



$$
U_n^m=operatorname{span}(x_1^m, dots , x^m_n),
$$



where $m in {1, dots, M}$, $n in {1, dots, N(m)}$ and $x^m_n$ is the $n$-th vector in the $m$-th Jordan chain.



Question. Is it true that any nontrivial $A$-invariant subspace $U$ of $mathbb{C}^d$ can be decomposed into a direct sum of such sets?



$$
AU subset U quad overset{?}{Leftrightarrow} quad U= bigoplus_{ overset{Large m, n}{rm small (some)} } U^m_n
$$
