Number of $F_p$-matrices ac=ca, bd = db , ad - da = cb - bc is polynomial in p ? ("Manin matrix variety" - normal ? Cohen–Macaulay ? )

Consider four $n\times n$ matrices $a,b,c,d$ over finite field $F_q$ (or $F_p$ for simplicity), such that they satisfy three equations: $ac=ca,bd=db, ad-da=cb-bc $. Thus an affine algebraic manifold ...

Count N-tuples of commuting matrices over $F_q$ is given by polynomials with pattern $\sum q^{A_i(N)} P_{i}(q) $, where $P_i$ - do not depend on $N$?

Count pairs of $k \times k$ commuting matrices over finite field $F_q$ is given by certain polynomials in $q$ (which is quite rare phenomena for algebraic varieties) and have interesting generating ...

Combinatorial counting question related to count (anti)commuting N-tuples of matrices (more generally $(X_1,...X_n): F(X_i,X_j)=0$ - only one F)

Consider some finite set $S$ (can be matrices over $F_p$), consider some symmetric relation $F(s1,s2)$ which values are True or False (for example - matrices (anti)commutate or not). Question 1: can ...
