Jun 24, 2023 at 17:31 comment added LSpice @darijgrinberg, re, what is a higher trace?
Jun 24, 2023 at 15:15 comment added darij grinberg The simplest part of question 1 is finding out which power of the trace of a nilpotent matrix (over an arbitrary commutative ring) is guaranteed to be $0$. See Doron Zeilberger, Gert Almkvist's generalization of a mistake of Bourbaki for the answer to this. Replacing the trace by higher traces should lead to similar answers. See also Exercise 2 in Chapter II of Henri Lombardi, Claude Quitté, Commutative algebra: Constructive methods. Finite projective modules.
Jun 24, 2023 at 14:28 comment added LSpice Purely orthographic tip for a beginner in algebraic geometry: the capitalization in "Nullstellensatz" is part of the word, so it is thus, not "nullstellensatz", even mid-sentence. I have edited accordingly.

nullstellensatz -> Nullstellensatz
