Eigenvalues of 2 matrices are equal

Hi all,

I have two matrices
A=0 0 1 0
0 0 0 1
a b a b
c d c d
and B=0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 a b
0 0 c d
I need to prove that two eigenvalues of A and two eigenvalues of B are equal. I tried to take the determinant of A-λI and B-λI and solve them but the result is not complete, the result that I got is
if e,f,g,h are eigenvalues of A and i,j,k,l are eigenvalues of B then
e+f+g+h=a+d;
i+j=a+d, k=l=0;
e*f*g*h=i*j;
efg+fgh+efh+egh=-2ij

Can anyone get me the complete result that is two eigenvalues of A and B are equal?

Thanks

Thread 'Trouble understanding an online solution to an exercise in Dummit & Foote'

##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...

Thread 'Decomposition into irreps of compact Lie group'

When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
