Let ω be a complex cube root of unity with ω 1 and P = [pij] be a n × n matrix with pij = ωi+j.
Then P2 0, when n =

for null matrix
ω4 + ω6 + ω8 +.......... + ω2n + 2 must be zero
and in this case each elements and matrix p2 will be zero
so ω4 + ω6 + ω8 +.......... + ω2n + 2 have n terms .......(i)
and ω4 + ω6 + ω8 = ω + 1 + ω2 = 0
ω10 + ω12 + ω14 = 0
i.e. ω2n + 2 must gives ω2n · ω2
(Last term each triplets in ω2)
2n = 3k (k is an integer)
n must be divisible by 3 for P2 to be null matrix
n = 57
