Jordan's Totient Function - Order of Matrix Groups

Order of Matrix Groups

The general linear group of matrices of order m over Z_n has order

$|\operatorname{GL}(m,\mathbf{Z}_n)|=n^{\frac{m(m-1)}{2}}\prod_{k=1}^m J_k(n).$

The special linear group of matrices of order m over Z_n has order

$|\operatorname{SL}(m,\mathbf{Z}_n)|=n^{\frac{m(m-1)}{2}}\prod_{k=2}^m J_k(n).$

The symplectic group of matrices of order m over Z_n has order

$|\operatorname{Sp}(2m,\mathbf{Z}_n)|=n^{m^2}\prod_{k=1}^m J_{2k}(n).$

The first two formulas were discovered by Jordan.

Famous quotes containing the words order, matrix and/or groups:

“I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

“In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity.”
—Salvador Minuchin (20th century)

“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
