If $L,A in m(n,n)$ on $R$, when exists L for which $(L^{T}AL)$ is a diagonal block matrix?
$begingroup$
If $L,A in m(n,n)$ on $R$, when exists L for which $(L^{T}AL)$ is a diagonal block matrix? Of course if $A$ is symmetrycal then $L$ exists and is a matrix of its eigenvectors, but I don't want to consider this case.

You are going to need a stronger condition to make this interesting, because every $ntimes n$ matrix is a diagonal block matrix with one $ntimes n$ block.

It was implicit that the numbers of blocks must be more than one. @Aaron
