Two operators, in a suitable basis with matrix representations $A$ and $B$ have the following commutator $[A, B] = AB − BA = kI$, where $k$ is a non-zero complex number and $I$ is the $n × n$ identity matrix, where $n$ can be any integer between 1 to ∞. Determine if the matrices $A$ and $B$ are of finite or infinite dimensionality, and prove your assertion, using only the commutation relation given above.
