Algebra, I, 171

*Let nn be an integer ≥2\geq 2 and TnT_n the group of upper triangular matrices of order nn over Z\mathbf{Z} with all the diagonal terms equal to 1. Let e(Tn)e(T_n) be the invariant of the group TnT_n defined in Exercise 39. Show that

e(Tn)≤∑i=1ni(n−i).∗ e(T_n) \leq \sum_{i=1}^n i(n-i).*
