Trigonometry in Galois Fields - Unimodular Groups

Unimodular Groups

The unimodular set of GI(p), denoted by G1, is the set of elements ζ = (a + jb) ∈ GI(p), such that a2 + b2 1 (mod p).

To determine the elements of the unimodular group it helps to observe that if ζ = a + jb is one such element, then so is every element in the set ζ = {b + ja, (pa) + jb, b + j(p − a), a +j(p − b), (p − b) + ja, (pa) + j(pb), (pb) + j(p − a)}.

Famous quotes containing the word groups:

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)
