Abstract
Let
=
(q ) be the
group of all upper unitriangular matrices of size n over
, the
field with q = pt elements. We show that the
computation of many canonical representatives of the conjugacy classes
of
can be reduced to similar calculations for certain matrices of
smaller size that we call condensed matrices. Our methods make use of
combinatorial techniques including (polynomial) generating functions, and they
greatly increase the efficiency of the calculations of the conjugacy vector of
. They also allow us to obtain the number of conjugacy classes of size
q z for any z ≤ 2n − 8. These numbers are
polynomial functions of q, in accordance with a well-known conjecture
of G. Higman.
