Copyright policy )Nilpotents Leave No Trace: A Matrix Mystery for Pandemic Times
Reopening a cold case, inspector Echelon, high-ranking in the Row Operations Center, is searching for a lost linear map, known to be nilpotent. When a partially decomposed matrix is unearthed, he reconstructs its reduced form, finding it singular. But were its roots nilpotent?
