In this paper we determine, for all r$r$ sufficiently large, the irreducible component(s) of maximal dimension of the variety of commuting r$r$ ‐tuples of nilpotent elements of gln$\mathfrak {gl}_n$ . Our main result is that in characteristic ≠2,3$\ne 2,3$ , this nilpotent commuting variety has dimension (r+1)⌊n24⌋$(r+1)\lfloor \frac{n^2}{4}\rfloor$ for n⩾4$n\geqslant 4$ , r⩾7$r\geqslant 7$ . We use this to find the dimension of the (ordinary) r$r$ th commuting varieties of gln$\mathfrak {gl}_n$ and sln$\mathfrak {sl}_n$ for the same range of values of r$r$ and n$n$ . Our principal motivation is the connection between nilpotent commuting varieties and cohomological complexity of finite group schemes, which we exploit in the last section of the paper to obtain explicit values for complexities of a large family of modules over the r$r$ th Frobenius kernel (GLn)(r)$(\operatorname{GL}_n)_{(r)}$ . These results indicate an inequality between the complexities of a rational G$G$ ‐module M$M$ when restricted to G(r)$G_{(r)}$ or to G(Fpr)$G(\mathbb {F}_{p^r})$ ; we subsequently establish this inequality for every simple algebraic group G$G$ defined over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic, significantly extending the main theorem of Lin and Nakano, Inventiones Mathematicae, 138 (1999), 85–101.
