Hi, I know that if two matrices A and B are similar matrices then they must have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric multiplicities. However, I was wondering if that statement was equivalent. In order terms, if two matrices have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric multiplicities, must they be similar? If not, is it always false?

Hi, I know that if two matrices A and B are similar matrices then they must have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric and algebraic multiplicities. However, I was wondering if that statement was equivalent. In order terms, if two matrices have the same eigenvalues with the same algebraic multiplicities, must they be similar? What about geometric multiplicities?
