1 ON THE ORDER OF UNIMODULAR MATRICES MODULO INTEGERS PRELIMINARY VERSION. Introduction Given an integer b and a prime p such that p b, let ord p (b) be the multiplicative order of b modulo p. In other words, ord p (b) is the smallest non negative integer k such that b k mod p. Clearly ord p (b) p, and if the order is maimal, b is said to be a primitive root modulo p. Artin conjectured (see the preface in []) that if b Z is not a square, then b is a primitive root for a positive proportion of the primes. What about the typical behaviour of ord p (b)? For instance, are there good lower bounds on ord p (b) that hold for a full density subset of the primes? In [3], Erdös and Murty proved that if b 0, ±, then there eists a δ > 0 so that ord p (b) is at least p /2 ep((log p) δ ) for a full density subset of the primes. However, we epect the typical order to be much larger. In [5] Hooley proved that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) implies Artin s conjecture. Moreover, if f : R + R + is an increasing function tending to infinity, it is possible to modify Hooley s argument to show that GRH implies that the order of b modulo p is greater than p/f(p) for full density subset of the primes. In this paper we will investigate a related question, namely lower bounds on the order of unimodular matrices modulo N Z. That is, if A SL 2 (Z), what can be said about lower bounds for ord N (A), the order of A modulo N, that hold for most N? It is a natural generalization of the previous questions, but our main motivation comes from mathematical physics (quantum chaos): In [6] Rudnick and I proved that if A is hyperbolic 2, then quantum ergodicity for toral automorphisms follows from ord N (A) being slightly larger than N /2, and we then showed that this condition does hold for a full density subset of the integers. Author supported in part by the National Science Foundation (DMS ). The constant is given by an Euler product that depends on b. 2 A is hyperbolic if tr(a) > 2.
2 2 Again, we epect that the typical order is much larger. In order to give lower bounds on ord N (A), it is essential to have good lower bounds on ord p (A) for p prime, and this is our first goal. Theorem. Let A SL 2 (Z) be hyperbolic, and let f : R + R + be an increasing function tending to infinity slower than log. Assuming GRH, there are at most O( ) primes p such that ord log f() ɛ p (A) < p/f(p). In particular, the set of primes p such that ord p (A) p/f(p) has density one. Using this we obtain an improved lower bound on ord N (A) that is valid for most integers. Theorem 2. Let A SL 2 (Z) be hyperbolic. Assuming GRH, the number of N such that ord N (A) N ɛ is o(). That is, the set of integers N such that ord N (A) N ɛ has density one. Remarks: If A is elliptic ( tr(a) < 2) then A has finite order (in fact, at most 6). If A is parabolic ( tr(a) = 2), then ord p (A) = p unless A is congruent to the identity matri modulo p, and hence there eists a constant c A > 0 so that ord N (A) > c A N. Apart from the application in mind, it is thus natural to only treat the hyperbolic case. As far as unconditional results for primes go, we note that the proof in [3] relies entirely on analyzing the divisor structure of p, and we epect that their method should give a similar lower bound on the order of A modulo p. An unconditional lower bound of the form () ord p (b) p η for a full proportion of the primes and η > /2 would be quite interesting. In this direction, Goldfeld proved [4] that if η < 3/5, then () holds for a positive, but not full, proportion of the primes. Clearly ord p (A) is related to ord p (ɛ), where ɛ is one of the eigenvalues of A. Since A is assumed to be hyperbolic, ɛ is a power of a fundamental unit in a real quadratic field. The question of densities of primes p such that ord p (λ) is maimal, for λ a fundamental unit in a real quadratic field, does not seem to have received much attention until quite recently; in [8] Roskam proved that GRH implies that the set of primes p for which ord p (λ) is maimal has positive density. (The work of Weinberger [2], Cooke and Weinberger [0] and Lenstra [7] does treat the case ord p (λ) = p, but not the case ord p (λ) = p +.) 2. Preliminaries 2.. Notation. If O F is the ring of integers in a number field F, we let ζ F (s) = a O F N(a) s denote the zeta function of F. By GRH we
3 ON THE ORDER OF UNIMODULAR MATRICES MODULO INTEGERS 3 mean that all nontrivial zeroes of ζ F (s) lie on the line Re(s) = /2 for all number fields F. Let ɛ be an eigenvalue of A, satisfying the equation (2) ɛ 2 tr(a)ɛ + det(a). Since A is hyperbolic, K = Q(ɛ) is a real quadratic field. Let O K be the integers in K, and let D K be the discriminant of K. Since A has determinant one, ɛ is a unit in O K. For n Z + we let ζ n = e 2πi/n be a primitive n-th root of unity, and α n = ɛ /n be an n-th root of ɛ. Further, with Z n = K(ζ n ), K n = K(ζ n, α n ), and L n = K(α n ), we let σ p denote the Frobenius element in Gal(K n /Q) associated with p. We let F p k denote the finite field with p k elements, and we let F p F 2 p 2 be the norm one elements in F p 2, i.e., the kernel of the norm map from F p to F 2 p. Let A p be the group generated by A in SL 2 (F p ). A p is contained in a maimal torus (of order p or p + ), and we let i p be the inde of A p in this torus. Finally, let π() = {p : p is prime} be the number of primes up to Kummer etensions and Frobenius elements. We want to characterize primes p such that n i p, and we can relate this to primes splitting in certain Galois etensions as follows: Reduce equation (2) modulo p and let ɛ denote a solution to equation (2) in F p or F p 2. (Note that if p does not ramify in K then the order of A modulo p equals the order of ɛ modulo p.) If p splits in K then ɛ F p, and if p is inert, then ɛ F p 2 \ F p. In the latter case, ɛ F p since 2 the norm one property is preserved when reducing modulo p. Now, F p and F p are cyclic groups of order p and p + respectively. 2 Thus, if p splits in K then ord p (ɛ) p, whereas if p is inert in K then ord p (ɛ) p +. Lemma 3. Let p be unramified in K n, and let C n = {, γ} Gal(K n /Q), where γ is given by γ(ζ n ) = ζn and γ(α n ) = αn. Then the condition that n i p is equivalent to σ p C n. Moreover, C n is invariant under conjugation. Proof. The split case: Since n i p and i p p we have ζ n F p, i.e. F p contains all n-th roots of unity. Moreover, ɛ is an n-th power of some element in F p, and thus the equation n ɛ splits completely in F p. In other words, p splits completely in K n and σ p is trivial. The inert case: Since n divides i p, ɛ is an n-th power of some element in F p 2 and hence α n F p 2. Moreover, n p 2 implies that ζ n F p 2.
4 4 Now, N F p 2 F p (α n ) = and N F p 2 F p (ζ n ) = ζn p+ = implies that σ p (ζ n ) ζ n mod p, σ p (α n ) α n mod p. For p that does not ramify in K n we thus have (3) σ p (ζ n ) = ζn, σ p (α n ) = αn Now, an element τ Gal(K n /Q) is of the form { ζ n ζn t t Z τ : α n αnζ u n s s Z, u {, } Composing γ and τ then gives τ γ : { ζ n ζ n α n α n ζ t n α u n ζ s n and { ζ n ζn t ζn t γ τ : α n αnζ u n s αn u ζn s which shows that γ is invariant under conjugation The Chebotarev density Theorem. In [9] Serre proved that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) implies the following version of the Chebotarev density Theorem: Theorem 4. Let E/Q be a finite Galois etension of degree [E : Q] and discriminant D E. For p a prime let σ p G = Gal(E/Q) denote the Frobenius conjugacy class, and let C G be a union of conjugacy classes. If the nontrivial zeroes of ζ E (s) lie on the line Re(s) = /2, then for 2, {p : σ p C} = C G π() + O ( ) C G /2 (log D E + [E : Q] log ) Now, primes that ramify in K n divides nd K (see Lemma 9), so as far as densities are concerned, ramified primes can be ignored. The bounds on the size of D Kn (see Lemma 9) and Lemma 3 then gives the following: Corollary 5. If GRH is true then 2 (4) {p : n i p } = [K n : Q] π() + O ( /2 (log(n) ) Remark: For theorems and 2 to be true, it is enough to assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for all ζ Kn, n >.
5 ON THE ORDER OF UNIMODULAR MATRICES MODULO INTEGERS Bounds on degrees. In order to apply the Chebotarev density Theorem we need bounds on the degree [K n : Q]. We will first assume that ɛ is a fundamental unit. Lemma 6. If ɛ is a fundamental unit in K and if n = 4 or n = q, for q an odd prime, then Gal(K n /K) is nonabelian. Proof. We start by showing that [K n : Z n ] = n. Consider first the case n = q. If α q Z q then β = N Zq K (α q) = α q [Zq:K] ζq t K R for some integer t. Since q is odd we may assume that α q R, and this forces ζq t =, which in turn implies that α q [Zq:K] K. Because ɛ is a fundamental unit this means that q [Z q : K]. On the other hand, [Z q : K] φ(q), a contradiction. Thus α q Z q, and hence K q /Z q is a Kummer etension of degree q. For n = 4 we note that i Z 4 = K(i). Thus α 2 = ɛ Z 4 implies that ɛ Z 4. However, either ɛ or ɛ is real and generates a real degree two etension of K, whereas K(i) is a non-real quadratic etension of K, and hence α 2 Z 4. Now, if α 4 Z 4 (α 2 ) then N Z 4(α 2 ) Z 4 (α 4 ) = α4i 2 t Z 4 for some t Z, and thus α4 2 = α 2 Z 4 which contradicts α 2 Z 4. Therefore, [Z 4 (α 4 ) : Z 4 ] = [Z 4 (α 4 ) : Z 4 (α 2 )][Z 4 (α 2 ) : Z 4 ] = 4. Finally we note that the commutator of any nontrivial element σ Gal(K n /Z n ) with any nontrivial element σ 2 Gal(K n /L n ) is nontrivial (we may regard Gal(K n /Z n ) and Gal(K n /L n ) as subgroups of Gal(K n /K)). Hence Gal(K n /K) is nonabelian. Lemma 7. If ɛ is a fundamental unit then [K n : Z n ] n/2. Proof. Clearly Z n (α q k) K n, and since field etensions of relative prime degrees are disjoint, it is enough to show that if q k n is a prime power then q k [Z n (α q k) : Z n ] if q is odd, and q k [Z n (α q k) : Z n ] if q = 2. If q is odd then Lemma 6 implies that α q Z n since Gal(Z n /K) is abelian. Hence, if m Z and α m Z q k n, we must have q k m. Now, if σ Gal(Z n (α q k)/z n ) then σ(α q k) = α q kζ tσ for some integer t q k σ. Thus there eists an integer t such that β = N Zn(α q k ) Z n (α q k) = α [Zn(α q k ):Z n] ζq t Z n Multiplying β by ζq t Z n we find that α [Zn(α q k ):Z n] q k q k [Z n (α q k) : Z n ]. q k Z n, and hence
6 6 For q = 2 the proof is similar, ecept that a factor of two is lost if α 2 Z n. Remark: K 2 /Q is a Galois etension of degree four, hence abelian and therefore contained in some cyclotomic etension by the Kronecker- Weber Theorem, and it is thus possible that α 2 Z n for some values of n. Lemma 8. We have nφ(n) K [K n : Q] 2nφ(n) Proof. We first note that [Z n : K] equals φ(n) or φ(n)/2 depending on whether K Q(ζ n ) or not. We also have the trivial upper bound [K n : Z n ] n. For a lower bound of [K n : Z n ] we argue as follows: Let γ K be a fundamental unit. Since the norm of ɛ is one we may write ɛ = γ k for some k Z. (Note that k does not depend on n.) As [Z n (γ /n ) : Z n (ɛ /n )] k, Lemma 7 gives that [Z n (ɛ /n ) : Z n ] n/k. The upper and lower bounds now follows from Bounds on discriminants. [K n : Q] = [K n : Z n ][Z n : K][K : Q] Lemma 9. If p ramifies in K n then p nd K. Moreover, Proof. First note that log(disc(k n /Q)) K [K n : K] log(n) disc(k n /Q) = N K Q (disc(k n /K)) disc(k/q) [Kn:K]. From the multiplicativity of the different we get disc(k n /K) = disc(z n /K) [Kn:Zn] N Zn K (disc(k n/z n )), Since ɛ is a unit, so is ɛ /n. Thus, if we let f() = n ɛ then f () = n n, and therefore the principal ideal f (ɛ /n )O Kn equals no Kn. In terms of discriminants this means that and similarly it can be shown that disc(k n /Z n ) N Kn Z n (no Kn ) disc(z n /K) N Zn K (no Z n ). Thus disc(k n /Q) divides ( NQ K N K n K (no K n ) N Zn K (no Z n ) [Kn:Zn]) disc(k/q) [Kn:K].
7 ON THE ORDER OF UNIMODULAR MATRICES MODULO INTEGERS 7 which proves the two assertions. = n 4[Kn:K] disc(k/q) [Kn:K] 3. Proof of Theorem In order to bound the number of primes p < for which i p > /2 we will need the following Lemma: Lemma 0. The number of primes p such that ord p (A) y is O(y 2 ). Proof. Given A there eists a constant C A such that det(a n I) = O(CA n ). Now, if the order of A mod p is n, then certainly p divides det(a n I) 0. Putting M = y n= det(an I) we see that any prime p for which A has order n y must divide M. Finally, the number of prime divisors of M is bounded by y log(m) n log(c A ) y 2. n= First step: We consider primes p such that i p ( /2 log, ). By Lemma 0 the number of such primes is ( ( ) ) 2 ( ) (5) O = O /2 log log 2. Second step: Consider p such that q i p for some prime q ( /2, log 3 /2 log ). We may bound this by considering primes p such that p ± mod q for q ( /2, log 3 /2 log ). Since q /2 log, Brun s sieve gives (up to an absolute constant) the bound φ(q) log() and the total contribution from these primes is at most (6) φ(q) log(/q) log q ( /2 log 3,/2 log ) q ( /2 log 3,/2 log ) Now, summing reciprocals of primes in a dyadic interval, we get q π(2m) M log M q [M,2M] q.
8 8 Hence q ( /2 log 3,/2 log ) q ( ) /2 log log log 2 /2 / log 3 log log log. log log and equation (6) is O( ). log 2 Third step: Now consider p such that q i p for some prime q (f() 2, /2 ). We are now in the range where GRH is applicable; by log 3 Corollary 5 and Lemma 8 we have {p : q i p } qφ(q) log + O(/2 log(q 2 )) Summing over q (f() 2, /2 ) we find that the number of such p log 3 is bounded by ( ) (7) q 2 log + O(/2 log(q 2 )) Now, q (f() 2, /2 log 3 ) and thus equation (7) is q (f() 2, /2 log 3 ) q 2 f() f() log + log 2. Fourth step: For the remaining primes p, any prime divisor q i p is smaller than f() 2. Hence i p must be divisible by some integer d (f(), f() 3 ). Again Lemmas 5 and 8 give {p : d i p } dφ(d) log + O(/2 log(d 2 )) Noting that φ(d) d ɛ and summing over d (f(), f() 3 ) we find that the number of such p is bounded by ( ) (8) d 2 ɛ log + O(/2 log(d 2 )) Now, d (f(),f() 3 ) d (f(),f() 3 ) d 2 ɛ f() ɛ
9 and ON THE ORDER OF UNIMODULAR MATRICES MODULO INTEGERS 9 d (f(),f() 3 ) therefore equation (8) is /2 log(d 2 ) f() 3 /2 log( 2 ) f() ɛ log 4. Proof of Theorem 2 With the results from the previous section we may now deduce Theorem 2. If p is prime such that ord p (A) p/ log(p), or p ramifies in K, we say that p is bad. We let P B denote the set of all bad primes, and we let P B (z) be the set of primes p P B such that p z. Since only finitely many primes ramify in K, Theorem gives that the number of bad primes p is O( ). A key observation is the following: Lemma. We have (9) In particular, if we let log 2 ɛ p P B p < β(z) = p P B (z) /p, then β(z) tends to zero as z tends to infinity. Proof. Immediate from partial summation and the O( ) estimate log 2 ɛ in Theorem. Given N Z, write N = s 2 N G N B where N G N B is square free and N B is the product of bad primes dividing N. By the following Lemma, we find that few integers have a large square factor: Lemma 2. {N : s 2 N, s y} = O ( ) y Proof. The number of N such that s 2 N for s y is bounded by s 2 y s y Net we show that there are few N for which N B is divisible by p P B (z). In other words, for most N, N B is a product of small bad primes.
10 0 Lemma 3. The number of N such that p P B (z) divides N B is O(β(z)). Proof. Let p P B (z). The number of N such that p N is less than /p. Thus, the total number of N such that some p P B (z) divides N, is bounded by p P B (z) p = p P B (z) p = β(z). Combining the previous results we get that the number of N = s 2 N G N B such that N B is z-smooth and s y is ( + O (β(z) + /y)). For such N we have N B p z p ez. Letting z = log log and y = log we get that N G = N N s 2 N B log 3 for N with at most O ((β(log log ) + (log ) )) = o() eceptions. Now, the following Proposition gives that, for most N, ord N (A) is essentially given by p N ord p(a). Proposition ([6], Proposition ). Let D A = 4(tr(A) 2 4). For almost all 3 N, p d ord N (A) 0 ord p (A) ep(3(log log ) 4 ) where d 0 is given by writing N = ds 2, with d = d 0 gcd(d, D A ) squarefree. Finally, since ord p (A) we thus find that ord N (A) for most N. p log p p ɛ for p N G and p sufficiently large, p N G ord p (A) ep(3(log log ) 4 ) N ɛ G ep(3(log log ) 4 ) N 2ɛ 3 By for almost all N we mean that there are o() eceptional integers N that are smaller than.
