A linear map $T: mathbb{R^3 to mathbb{R^3}}$ has a two dimensional invariant subspace.












4












$begingroup$



Let $T: mathbb{R^3 to mathbb{R^3}}$ be an $mathbb{R}$-linear map. Then I want to show that $T$ has a $2$ dimensional invariant subspace of $mathbb{R^3}.$




I considered all possible minimal polynomial of $T$ and applying canonical forms I found some obvious $2$ dimensional invariant subspaces.




I stuck when the minimal polynomial is of the form $(X-a)^3$ for some real number $a.$




In this situation since the minimal polynomial and the characteristic polynomial coincides $T$ has a cyclic vector. But I can't complete it further. I need some help. Thanks.

          If the minimal polynomial is of the form $(X-a)^3$, then there is some basis $B={e_1,e_2,e_3}$ of $mathbb{R}^3$ such that the matrix of $T$ with respect to $B$ is$$begin{bmatrix}a&1&0\0&a&1\0&0&aend{bmatrix}.$$So, consider the space spanned by $e_1$ and $e_2$.
