Question
Let $V$ be a vector space over the complex field $C$ , and let $T$ be an linear map $V\rightarrow V$. Show that exists a pair of linear maps $D$ and $N$ such that $D+N=A$, $D$ is diagonalizable, $N$ is nilpotent, and DN=ND.
I found this endomorphism as sum of two endomorphisms (nilpotent and diagonalizable) where he said "you can transform so that ϕ is on jordan form, and then split this matrix in a diagonal and a nilpotent"
But I didn't get his explanation. How can I decompose the jordan marix of T? any why does it proves the commute and sum of the linear maps?
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
