If $TS=ST$, then $S=alpha T+beta$.

Let $T=begin{pmatrix}a&b\c&dend{pmatrix}$ be a non-scalar matrix.




If $S=begin{pmatrix}e&f\g&hend{pmatrix}$ be such that $TS=ST$. Why there exists $alpha,betain mathbb{C}$ such that
$$S=alpha T+beta I;?$$




Note that $TS-ST=0$ is equivalent to



$$begin{bmatrix}bg-fc & af+bh-eb-fd\
ce+dg-ga-hc & fc-bgend{bmatrix} = begin{bmatrix}0 & 0\0 & 0end{bmatrix}$$

This implies that
$$begin{cases}
bg-fc = 0,\
af+bh-eb-fd = 0,\
ce+dg-ga-hc = 0,\
fc-bg = 0.
end{cases}$$

Since $T$ is non scalar, then $bneq 0$ or $cneq 0$ or $aneq d$. However, I cannot find $alpha$ and $beta$.

EDIT. We assume that $Tin M_2(K)$, where $K$ is
a field. $C(T)={Sin M_2(K);TS=ST}$ is a vector space containing ${I,T}$, that are linearly independent; then it suffices to show that $dim(C(A))leq 2$, that is, the entries of such a matrix $S=begin{pmatrix}p&q\r&send{pmatrix}$ depend at most on $2$ parameters.



$textbf{Proof}$. There is a vector $u$ s.t. ${u,Tu}$ is a basis of $K^2$; otherwise, let $v,w$ be a basis of $K^2$; one has $Tv=av,Tw=bw,T(v+w)=c(v+w)$, that implies that $T=aI$, a contradiction.



In the basis ${u,Tu}$, $T$ becomes $begin{pmatrix}0&a\1&bend{pmatrix}$ and



$(TS)_{1,1}=(ST)_{1,1},(TS)_{2,1}=(ST)_{2,1}$ iff



$q=ar,p=-br+s$; finally, the entries of $S$ depend at most on the $2$ parameters $r,s$ and we are done.
