SEEMOUS 2013 Problem 2 Let M,N∈M2(C)M,N\in M_2(\mathbb C)M,N∈M2(C) be two nonzero matrices such that M2=N2=02 and MN+NM=I2M^2=N^2=0_2\text{ and }MN+NM=I_2M2=N2=02 and MN+NM=I2 where 020_202 is the 2×22\times22×2 zero matrix and I2I_2I2 the 2×22\times22×2 unit matrix. Prove that there is an invertible matrix A∈M2(C)A\in M_2(\mathbb C)A∈M2(C) such that M=A(0100)A−1 and N=A(0010)A−1.M=A\begin{pmatrix}0&10&0\end{pmatrix}A^{-1}\text{ and }N=A\begin{pmatrix}0&01&0\end{pmatrix}A^{-1}.M=A(0100)A−1 and N=A(0010)A−1.
