The number of solutions of \(X^ 2 = 0\) in triangular matrices over \(GF(q)\)
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 3 (1996) no. 1
We prove an explicit formula for the number of $n \times n$ upper triangular matrices, over $GF(q)$, whose square is the zero matrix. This formula was recently conjectured by Sasha Kirillov and Anna Melnikov.
