The geometric multiplicity of eigenvalue $\lambda$ is $\dim\ker(A-\lambda I)$. It counts independent eigenvectors for that eigenvalue and is between one and its algebraic multiplicity. For $\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$, eigenvalue $1$ has geometric multiplicity one and algebraic multiplicity two.
