Let $u$ be an endomorphism of $E$ nilpotent of index $p$ and of rank $r$. Suppose the matrix of $u$ in some basis is $N_\sigma = \operatorname{diag}\left(J_{\alpha_1}, \ldots, J_{\alpha_k}\right)$ where $\sigma = (\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_k)$ is a partition of $n$.
For every integer $j$ between 1 and $n$, express the number of blocks $J_{\alpha_i}$ of size exactly equal to $j$.
