Complexity of Finding the Eigendecomposition of a Matrix
Ryan answered a similar question on mathoverflow. Here's the link: mathoverflow-answer

Basically, you can reduce eigenvalue computation to matrix multiplication by computing a symbolic determinant. This gives a running time of O($n^{\omega+1}m$) to get $m$ bits of the eigenvalues; the best currently known runtime is O($n^3+n^2\log^2 n\log b$) for an approximation within $2^{-b}$.

Ryan's reference is ``Victor Y. Pan, Zhao Q. Chen: The Complexity of the Matrix Eigenproblem. STOC 1999: 507-516''. 

(I believe there is also a discussion about the relationship between the complexities of  eigenvalues and matrix multiplication in the older Aho, Hopcroft and Ullman book ``The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms'', however, I don't have the book in front of me, and I can't give you the exact page number.)
