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 of, order, matrix and/or groups:

“It is well within the order of things
That man should listen when his mate sings;
But the true male never yet walked
Who liked to listen when his mate talked.”
—Anna Wickham (1884–1947)

“I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)

“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)

“The awareness of the all-surpassing importance of social groups is now general property in America.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
