Therefore find a '''TL;DR''' here:

| + | Suppose to the contrary that \(M\) has a '1' in the superdiagonal, then \(2M\) is supposed to be in the center as well, but it can't, because it is not in Jordan normal form. |

| − | Let $$\zeta(s) = \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s} $$ for $$s \in \mathbb{C}, \Re (s) > 1$$
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Consider
| + | |
| − | $$ E(z) := \frac{z}{e^z -1} := \sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty B_n \frac{z^n}{n!} \quad\quad\quad z \in \mathbb{R} $$
| + | |
| − | $$\lim\limits_{z \to 0}{E(z)} = \lim\limits_{z \to 0}{\frac{1}{e^z}} = 1 = \lim\limits_{z \to 0}{\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty B_n \frac{z^n}{n!}} $$
| + | |
| − | Where in the first equality we used l'Hospital's rule and with
| + | |
| − | $$ \lim\limits_{z \to 0}{E(z)} = E(\lim\limits_{z \to 0}{z}) = \sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty \lim\limits_{z \to 0}{B_n \frac{z^n}{n!}} =B_0 $$
| + | |
| − | Where we can put the limit inside because E is continuous and bounded in a neighborhood of z_0 = 0.
| + | |
| − | $$ \rightarrow B_0 = 1 $$
| + | |
| − | Now we repeat the same thing for E'
| + | |
| − | \begin{align*}
| + | |
| − | \lim\limits_{z \to 0}{E'(z)} & = \lim\limits_{z \to 0}{\frac{e^z -1 -z e^z}{e^{2z} -2e^z+1}} \\

| − | and therefore

| − | | + | |

| − | Since z and coth are odd functions, f(z) is an even function. From the part above we know that $$E(z) = 1 - \frac{1}{2} z + \mathcal{O}(z^2)$$ Since the addition of z/2 kills the uneven term and f(z) has to be even, the only remaining coefficients are even:

Determine the center of the algebra of complex d × d-matrices.
Hint: the center of an algebra \(A\) is defined as \(Z(A) = \{\phi \in A | \phi \psi = \psi \phi \; \forall \psi \in A \} \).
Let big bold letters denote elements of \(\mathbb{C}^{d \times d}\) and small Greek letters complex numbers.
We make the following observations and conclude that \( Z = \{\lambda\mathbb{I}\}\)
Suppose to the contrary that \(M\) has a '1' in the superdiagonal, then \(2M\) is supposed to be in the center as well, but it can't, because it is not in Jordan normal form.
Let \( M =\begin{pmatrix} \lambda_1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda_2 & \ldots & 0 \\ \vdots & &\ddots& \\ 0 & \ldots & 0 & \lambda_d \end{pmatrix} \) and \( E_{ij} \) be the matrix with zero entries except for a '1' in the i-th row and j-th column.
\(\lambda_i E_{ij} = ME_{ij} = E_{ij}M = \lambda_j E_{ij} \Rightarrow \lambda_i = \lambda_j \)
Because \( 1 \leq i \leq j \leq d \) can be chosen arbitrary, this proves the other inclusion \(M \in \{\lambda\mathbb{I}\}\).
Let \(E_{ij} \in \mathbb{K}^{n\times n} \) be the matrix which has the entry 1 at \((i,j)\) and 0 else. From proposition \(AE_{ij} = E_{ij}A ~~ \forall 1 \leq i, j \leq n\). Let \(1 \leq i, j \leq n \) be fixed: \(AE_{ij} \) consists solely out of zeros except for the j-th column which is equal to \((a_{1i}, \ldots , a_{ni})^T\). So we get \( a_{ii} = a_{jj} ~~ \wedge ~~ a_{ki} = 0 ~~\forall k \neq j\)
We can do this for all indices and this leads to \(a_{ij} = 0 \forall i \neq j ~~\wedge ~~ a_{11} = a_{22} = \ldots = a_{nn} \). Therefor \(A\) has to have the form \(\lambda E_n, \lambda \in \mathbb{K}\)
Let \(E_{ij}\) be the \(d \times d\)-matrix with \((E_{ij})_{kl} = \delta_{ik} \delta_{jl} \).
Now let \(1 \leq i, j \leq d\) with \(i \neq j\) be fixed and consider
$$(E_{ij} A)_{kl} = \sum \limits_{m}(E_{ij})_{km} A_{ml} = \sum \limits_{m}\delta_{ki} \delta_{jm} A_{ml} = \delta_{ki} A_{jl}.$$
Since \(A\) commutes with all compex \(d \times d\)-matrices, this is the same as
$$(A E_{ij})_{kl} = \sum \limits_{m}A_{km} (E_{ij})_{ml} = \sum \limits_{m} A_{km} \delta_{mi} \delta_{jl} = \delta_{jl} A_{ki}.$$
Thus, we have that
$$\delta_{ki} A_{jl} = \delta_{jl} A_{ki}$$
Now set \(k=i, l=j\). We then find
$$A_{ii} = A_{jj}$$
Next, set \(k=l=i\). Still, \(j \neq i\). It follows that
$$A_{ji} = 0.$$
As this holds for an arbitrary choice of \(i \neq j\), the required form for \(A\) is
$$A = \lambda \mathbb{I}_d$$
for some \(\lambda \in \mathbb{C}\). And obviously \(\forall \lambda \in \mathbb{C}: \lambda \mathbb{I} \in Z(\mathrm{Mat}_d(\mathbb{C}))\).
