Abstract

In this paper we investigate the classification of involutions of the first kind in algebra of upper-triangular matrices over commutative rings. In case of a field \(F\) of characteristics 2, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for finiteness of the set of involutions equivalence classes of \({{T}_{n}}(F)\).
