The matrix Lie algebra on a one-step ladder is zero product determined

Abstract: The class of matrix algebras on a ladder $\mathcal{L}$ generalizes the class of block upper triangular matrix algebras. It was previously shown that the matrix algebra on a ladder $\mathcal{L}$ is zero product determined under matrix multiplication. In this article, we show that the matrix algebra on a one-step ladder is zero product determined under the Lie bracket.
