 Nilpotence of commutation by a nilpotent endomorphism

For a nilpotent endomorphism $N$ of a vector space, the commutator action $\mathrm{ad}N:T\mapsto NT-TN$ on its endomorphisms is nilpotent. The commuting left and right multiplication maps give $(\mathrm{ad}N{)}^r(T)={\sum }_{j=0}^r(-1{)}^j\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{r}{j}\right)N^{r-j}T{N}^j$. If $N^q=0$ and $r\ge 2q-1$, every summand vanishes. This works in every characteristic of a field and is useful when applying Engel theorem to an Adjoint representation.
