Let $A$ be a square non-invertible matrix such that $Rows(A) = Cols(A)$ (They span the same vector space).
Prove or disprove - $A$ is diagonalizable.
I tried very hard to find a disproval example of this matrix $A$ but I always end up with a matrix the fullfil the conditions.
It feels a little bit that I might prove that such matrix $A$ is symmetric, and therefore depending on the spectral theorem it is also diagonalizable.
Any hints ? Thank you !
The answer is no. For instance, the matrix $$ \pmatrix{1&1&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&0} $$ has the same row and column spaces, but fails to be diagonalizable.
