- Someone once told me about the solution to the following problem.
- Given two finite-dimensional vector spaces (over the complex numbers,
- say) X and Y, classify all *pairs* of linear maps S,T: X -> Y up
- to transformations of the pair (S,T) -> (gSh, gTh) where g and h are
- invertible linear transformations of Y and X respectively. Does
- anyone recall the history of this problem and what its solution is?
