Abstract
Guralnick (Linear Algebr Appl 99:85–96, 1988) proved that two holomorphic matrices on a noncompact connected Riemann surface, which are locally holomorphically similar, are globally holomorphically similar. We generalize this to (possibly, nonsmooth) one-dimensional Stein spaces. For Stein spaces of arbitrary dimension, we prove that global \(\mathcal {C}^\infty \) similarity implies global holomorphic similarity, whereas global continuous similarity is not sufficient.

Notes
Here and in the following we use the convention that statements like “\(f=g\) on \(\emptyset \)” or “\(f:=g\) on \(\emptyset \)” have to be omitted.
Indeed, let f be a \(\mathcal {C}_X^G\) cocycle, and let B be the principal G-bundle defined by f. Then (by definition of B) the \(\mathcal {C}_X^G\)-triviality of f (which we have to prove) is equivalent to the existence of a global continuous section of B, and the existence of such a global continuous section follows, e.g., from [21, Theorem 11.5 and §29.1].
Possibly, some of the zeros in this block matrix have to be omitted.
