Abstract
We consider the problem of simultaneously putting a set of square matrices into the same block upper triangular form with a similarity transformation, and obtain a result linking the size of the largest block to polynomial identities. This is used to yield a new proof of a theorem of Watters [20] which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of matrices to be simultaneously, unitarily similar to block diagonal matrices with blocks of sizes one or two.
