Making a change of basis in the matrix representation of a linear operator will not change the eigenvalues of that linear operator, but could making such a change of basis affect the geometric multiplicities of those eigenvalues?
I'm thinking that the answer is "no", it cannot..
Since if it did, it would affect/change the ability to diagonalize the linear operator, and any given linear operator is going to have only one canonical representation..
But, I just wanted to make sure.
