Two-by-two upper triangular matrices and Morrey's conjecture

It is shown that every homogeneous gradient Young measure supported on matrices of the form $\begin{pmatrix} a_{1,1} & \cdots & a_{1,n-1} & a_{1,n} \ 0 & \cdots & 0 & a_{2,n} \end{pmatrix}$ is a laminate. This is used to prove the same result on the 3-dimensional nonlinear submanifold of $$\mathbb{M}$^{2 \times 2}$definedby$\det X = 0$and$X_{12}>0$.
