Abstract

It is shown that a pair of idempotent operators on a Banach space is triangularizable if their commutator is nilpotent. Moreover, if every operator on Hilbert space has an invariant subspace, then a pair of idempotents on Hilbert space is triangularizable if their commutator is quasinilpotent. These results are generalized from idempotents to quadratic operators.
