Show that $dim E_lambda (A^TA) = dim E_lambda (AA^T)$.

$begingroup$


Let $lambda in mathbb R^*$, $n ge 2$.



Let $A in M_n(mathbb R)$, $f$ the linear map defined by $A$.



Let $E_lambda (A^TA) = ker (A^TA - I_n)$ and $E_lambda (A^TA) = ker (AA^T - I_n)$.



Show that $dim E_lambda (A^TA) = dim E_lambda (AA^T)$.



I started by showing that $dim E_lambda (A^TA) le dim E_lambda (AA^T)$:



Let $tilde{f}$ be the restriction of $f$ on $E_lambda (A^TA)$.
We can prove that $tilde{f}$ is injective:



Let $x, x'$ such that $tilde{f}(x) = tilde{f}(x')$, then
$$Ax = Ax'$$
thus $$A^TAx = A^TAx'$$
$i.e$ $$lambda x = lambda x'$$
as $lambda ne 0$, $x=x'$ wich shows that $tilde{f}$ is injective.



We can also prove that $operatorname{Im} tilde{f} subset E_lambda (AA^T)$:



Let $y in operatorname{Im} tilde{f}$, there exists $x in E_lambda (A^TA)$ such that $y = Ax$, hence $$AA^T y = AA^T Ax = lambda Ax = lambda y.$$
Now, using Rank-Nullity theorem, we can write $$dim E_lambda (A^TA) = dim operatorname{Im} tilde{f} le dim E_lambda (AA^T).$$



To finish, I would have to prove that $$dim E_lambda (A^TA) ge dim E_lambda (AA^T).$$



I can't figure out how to do it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I see that you have not corrected your statement (line 3)... On the other hand, if you have to assume that $lambdanot= 0$, then it's certainly because $A$ is not assumed to be square (otherwise the equality stands also for $lambda=0$). OK, I will not answer your questions any more.

$AA^T$ and $A^TA$ are real symmetric, then diagonalizable over $mathbb{R}$. Moreover $spectrum(AA^T)=spectrum(A^TA)$ (equality of lists).



Thus $AA^T$ and $A^TA$ are similar over $mathbb{R}$.
