Do $begin{bmatrix}
0&i&0\0&0&1\0&0&0
end{bmatrix} $
and $begin{bmatrix}
0&0&0\-i&0&0\0&1&0
end{bmatrix} $
are similar.Is this True/false



Clearly both are nilpotent and one is conjucate transpose of other but how to know if they are similar.i'm stuck. Please help me

Hint: both matrices have the same characteristic polynomial $p(x)=x^3$, and for both that is also the minimal polynomial. What can you conclude about their Jordan canonical forms?

    They are similar. Matrices of order at most $3times 3$ (not true for higher dimension matrices) are similar if and only if their characteristic and minimal polynomials are the same. I never thought about proving this lemma without Jordan form though.
