Abstract

Consider I_n(K), the set of solutions to the equation X²=0 in n×n strictly upper-triangular matrices over field K. In this paper we construct the bijection from the set of adjoint orbits in I_n(K) onto the set of involutions in symmetric group S_n. For a finite field K we compute the number of points in the orbits.
