An elementary method to compute the algebra generated by some given matrices and its dimension

Abstract: We give an efficient solution to the following problem: Given X 1 , . . . X d and Y some n by n matrices can we determine if Y is in the unital algebra generated by X 1 , . . . , X d as a subalgebra of all n by n matrices? The solution also gives an easy method for computing the dimension of this algebra.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 16S50, 15A30 Secondary 47A57 . Key words and phrases. calculation of matrix algebras from generators, dimension of matrix algebras, bases for matrix algebras.

“…We could just as easily use Equation (2.4) as the definition of the πœ“-involution. The πœ“-involution was introduced by the third named author in [Pas19], where its key properties (including the modularity property) were described; we have included proofs here for the sake of convenience. What we will call the elementary Pick matrix, defined in the next section, also appears in [Pas19].…”
