Examples of Unimodular Matrices
Unimodular matrices form a subgroup of the general linear group under matrix multiplication, i.e. the following matrices are unimodular:
- Identity matrix
- The inverse of a unimodular matrix
- The product of two unimodular matrices
Further:
- The Kronecker product of two unimodular matrices is also unimodular. This follows since
- where p and q are the dimensions of A and B, respectively.
Concrete examples include:
- Symplectic matrices
- Pascal matrices
- Permutation matrices
- the three transformation matrices in the ternary tree of primitive Pythagorean triples

“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
