Abstract
Let p be a prime and let Jr denote a full r×r Jordan block matrix with eigenvalue 1 over a field F of characteristic p. For positive integers r and s with r≤s , the Jordan canonical form of the rs×rs matrix Jr⊗Js has the form Jλ1⊕Jλ2⊕⋯⊕Jλr . This decomposition determines a partition λ(r,s,p)=(λ1,λ2,…,λr) of rs . Let n1,…,nk be the multiplicities of the distinct parts of the partition and set c(r,s,p)=(n1,…,nk) . Then c(r,s,p) is a composition of r. We present a new bottom-up algorithm for computing c(r,s,p) and λ(r,s,p) directly from the base-p expansions for r and s.
