If a have a matrix $C in M_n(mathbbR)$ with $C^2=O_n$ and $n=2k+1$ that has at least to eigenvalues equal to $0$. Can I say from this that the $rank Cleq fracn-12?$

    You need only assume $C^2 = O$, then in fact all eigenvalues are $0$, since $C$ is nilpotent.

    Since $C^2=0$, then $operatornameIm(C)subseteqoperatornameKer(C)$. Then $n=operatornamedimoperatornameKer(C)+operatornamedimoperatornameIm(C)geq 2operatornamedimoperatornameIm(C)$. Since $n$ is odd and $operatornamedimoperatornameIm(C)$ a natural number, then $fracn-12geq operatornamedimoperatornameIm(C)$.

$newcommandrankoperatornameranknewcommandnullityoperatornamenullitynewcommandcmathbfcnewcommandmathbf0$Yes. Hints: You want to show that $rank(C)le k$. Let the columns of $C$ be $c_1,ldots,c_n$. Then since $C^2 = O$, we have $Cc_j = $ for all $j=1,ldots, n$. Now suppose by way of contradiction that $rank(C) > k$. Then since (by the rank-nullity theorem) $$nullity(C) = 2k+1-rank(C),$$ we have $$nullity(C) < 2k+1-k = k+1 Rightarrow nullity(C) le k.$$ But the columns of $C$ are all from the null space of $C$ and $rank(C) > k$. In view of the above, can you explain why this is impossible?
