Extract

The structure of commutative associative linear algebras is well known and is usually derived from more general results concerning non-commutative algebras (Cartan, Frobenius). The novelty of the present treatment is that while it avoids the complexities of the non-commutative case, it exhibits the essential relationship between the theory of commuting matrices and that of commutative algebras.

While theorems 1 and 2 of this paper are implicit in the writings of Voss (1889), Taber (1890), and Plemelj (1901), it has been considered worth while to recapitulate these results in the explicit form required for the discussion of commutative algebras. In doing so, some new facts emerge.
