Skew Symmetric Matrix with condition

If A is 2*2 skew symmetric matrix with $$A^2=A$$, Then A=0 $$$$ My attempt was by assuming the matrix A and substituting the squaring condition and the condition of skew symmetric and got system of equations but I couldn't solve it.I look forward to…

Commutator of Skew-Symmetric Matrices with Integer entries

Let $\mathcal{S_3}$ be the collection of $3\times 3$ skew-symmetric matrices with integer entries. There is no non-zero $D\in \mathcal{S_3}$ that satisfies the following equation $$[D,[D,[D,N]]]=0$$ for all $N\in \mathcal{S_3}$ where $[\cdot,\cdot]$…
