Are there matrices such that AB=I and BA≠I ?
A and B are square matrices
Answer
With square matrices, no. With non-square matrices, it's perfectly possible. For example,
A=(100010)B=(100100)
Note that, indeed, we cannot have non-square matrices where AB and BA are identities of appropriate dimensions, because that would imply the existence of an isomorphism between spaces of different dimensions!
