3 Conjugacy Classes of Torsion in GL n(z) 479 Given a matrix A M n (Z) we denote the characteristic polynomial of A by f A (x) = xi A If A GL n (Z) then f A (x) is a monic polynomial with constant term f(0) = ±1 Let f(x) = x n +a n 1 x n 1 + +a 1 x+a 0 Z[x] the polynomial ring over Z with f(0) = ±1 The set of all integral matrices with characteristic polynomial f(x) is denoted by M f That is M f = {A GL n (Z) f A (x) = f(x)} Let M f be the set of all conjugacy classes of matrices in M f The size of M f is denoted by M f The matrix C f given by a a 1 C f = a a n 1 is known as the companion matrix of f(x) = x n +a n 1 x n 1 + +a 1 x+a 0 It is known that C f M f and thus M f For any A GL n (Z) we use C(A) to denote its centralizer in GL n (Z) If A is similar to the companion matrix of a polynomial over Z then its centralizer is C(A) = {g(a) GL n (Z) g(x) Z[x] is of degree less than n} For A M n m (Z) and B M s t (Z) the direct sum of A and B is A B = A 0 M 0 B (n+s) (m+t) (Z) Obviously A B is a unimodular matrix if and only if both A and B are unimodular matrices A matrix A GL n (Z) is decomposable if it is conjugate to a direct sum of two matrices which have smaller sizes; otherwise A is said to be indecomposable The characteristic polynomial of a decomposable matrix is reducible over Z but the converse is not true
4 480 Q Yang In this paper we mainly consider the integral similarity problem for upper blocktriangular matrices of the form A X (11) 0 B where A B are unimodular matrices with coprime minimal polynomials Our results are based on the following lemmas We state them without proof Lemma 11 Each A in M n (Z) is integrally similar to a block-triangular matrix A 11 A 12 A 1r 0 A 22 A 2r 0 0 A rr where the characteristic polynomial of A ii is irreducible 1 i r The blocktriangularization can be attained with the diagonal blocks in any prescribed order See [6 9] for a proof Lemma 12 Let A GL n (Z) have irreducible minimal polynomial p(x) with M p = 1 Then A is integrally similar to C p C p C p where C p is the companion matrix of p(x) That is M p k = 1 See also [6] Consider two monic polynomials f(x) = x n +a n 1 x n 1 + +a 0 and g(x) = x m +b m 1 x m 1 + +b 0 in Z[x] Recall that the resultant of f(x) and g(x) is the determinant 1 a n 1 a a n 1 a a n 1 a 0 R(fg) = 1 b m 1 b b m 1 b b m 1 b 0 m rows n rows
5 Conjugacy Classes of Torsion in GL n(z) 481 It is known that f(x) and g(x) are coprime if and only if R(fg) 0 The following theorem which is a corollary of Lemma 31 gives a sufficient condition for decomposability Theorem 13 Let A M n (Z) with its characteristic polynomial a product of two coprime polynomials whose resultant is ±1 Then A is decomposable To explain our results we need to develop some notation For any A GL n (Z) A e A e we use A + A to denote the block matrices respectively where e = (100) T M n 1 (Z) Clearly A + A GL n+1 (Z) Also we let C n denote the companion matrix of Φ n (x) the nth cyclotomic polynomial of degree ϕ(n) where ϕ is the Euler s totient function Our results are given in following theorems We will prove them in Section 3 Theorem 14 Let n > 1 and A = C n C n C n the direct sum of s-copies of C n Let A X M = where X M 0 I sϕ(n) m (Z) m 1 If n = p k where p is a prime number and k 1 then (12) M C n + C+ n C n C n I }{{}}{{} m t t s t where the number t of C + n satisfies 0 t min(sm) and is uniquely determined by M 2 If n is not a power of a prime then M A I m The special case n = 2 was established by Hua and Reiner [4] Similarly we have the following Theorem 15 Let n > 2 and A = C n C n C n the direct sum of s-copies of C n Let A X M = where X M 0 I sϕ(n) m (Z) m 1 If n = 2p k where p is a prime and k 1 then M Cn Cn C n C n ( I }{{}}{{} m t ) t s t
6 482 Q Yang where the number t of Cn satisfies 0 t min(sm) and is uniquely determined by M 2 If n 2p k then M A ( I m ) A complete conjugacy list of torsion in GL 2 (Z) is already known Lemma 16 All torsion in GL 2 (Z) up to conjugation are given in the following table together with the centralizers and minimal polynomials of the conjugacy class representatives where I = order A C(A) m A (x) 1 I GL 2 (Z) Φ 1 (x) = (x 1) I GL 2 (Z) Φ 2 (x) = (x+1) 2 K ±I±K (x 1)(x+1) U ±I±U (x 1)(x+1) 3 W ±I±W±(I +W) Φ 3 (x) = x 2 +x+1 4 J ±I±J Φ 4 (x) = x W ±I±W±(I +W) Φ 6 (x) = x 2 x K = U = W = C 3 = J = C 4 = 1 1 For a proof see [8] Although the maximal finite subgroups of GL 4 (Z) up to conjugation have been determined by Dade [1] a complete set of non-conjugate classes of torsion in GL 4 (Z) is of value We have solved the closely related problem of classifying the conjugacy classes of elements of finite order in the 4 4 symplectic group over Z see [12] If A is a d-torsion element in GL 4 (Z) then its minimal polynomial m A (x) is a factor of x d 1 ie m A (x) is a product of cyclotomic polynomials It is easy to check that any torsion element A in GL 4 (Z) has order or 12 Note that ϕ(5) = ϕ(8) = ϕ(10) = ϕ(12) = 4 and then Φ n (x) is a quartic polynomial for n = or 12 According to Latimer MacDuffee and Taussky [11] if the characteristic polynomial of A is Φ 5 (x) Φ 8 (x) Φ 10 (x) or Φ 12 (x) then A is conjugate to C 5 C 8 C 10 or C 12 respectively since Q(ζ m ) where ζ m is a primitive mth root of unity has class number one for all positive integers m less than 12 We reduce the problem to the case that the characteristic polynomial of A is reducible The cases where m A (x) is an irreducible quadratic polynomial that is m A (x) = Φ n (x) n = 34
7 Conjugacy Classes of Torsion in GL n(z) 483 or 6 can be solved by Lemma 12 and Lemma 16 Furthermore the case where A 2 = I was solved in complete generality by Hua and Reiner [4] We only need to consider the cases where m A (x) is one of the following: (x 2 +1)(x 1) (x 2 +1)(x+1) (x 2 ±x+1)(x 1) (x 2 ±x+1)(x+1) (x 2 ±x+1)(x 2 +1) (x 2 +x+1)(x 2 x+1) (x 2 1)(x 2 + 1) and (x 2 1)(x 2 ± x + 1) As a consequence by Lemma 11 A is integrally similar to a block upper triangular matrix with different diagonal 2 2 blocks chosen from Lemma 16 By applying Theorem 14 or Theorem 15 we can solvetheproblemforthe firstfourcaseswhereoneandonlyoneof±1isaneigenvalue The case where m A (x) = (x 2 ±x+1)(x 2 +1) can be solved by Theorem 13 For the remaining three cases we have the following result Theorem 17 All elements in GL 4 (Z) with some given reducible characteristic polynomials f(x) up to conjugation are listed below: M f = 1 When f(x) = (x 2 1)(x 2 +λx+1) where λ = ±1 M f = { K 0 λ λ 0 W 2 When f(x) = (x 2 1)(x 2 +1) { K 0 K E K I K E U 0 λ λ 0 W 0 W K I E U 0 } U E ; 0 W U E } U I ; 3 When f(x) = (x 2 +x+1)(x 2 x+1) where E = M f = { W 0 0 W } W E 0 W To prove our results we need to develop some new tools The idea we use in this paper comes from Roth s Theorem [10] For a general form of Roth s Theorem see [2] or [3] We shall generalize Roth s Theorem to the integral similarity problem for upper block-triangular matrices of the form (11) with the diagonal blocks have coprime characteristic polynomials In Section 2 we shall study (A B)-equivalence in M n m (Z) Then we transform our similarity problem to the problem finding (AB)- equivalent classes and prove our results in Section 3 We use the program Mathematica to calculate some of results in this paper 2 (AB)-equivalence Let A GL n (Z) B GL m (Z) and suppose that their respective characteristic polynomials f(x) and g(x) are coprime We define a linear
8 484 Q Yang transformation ψ on M n m (Z) by ψ : M n m (Z) M n m (Z) T AT TB Since f(x) g(x) are coprime ψ is injective Let AB be the image of ψ that is AB = {AT TB T M n m (Z)} By choosing a suitable basis the matrix of ψ is A I m I n B T where is the Kronecker product of matrices Then the determinant of ψ is equal to R(fg) the resultant of f(x) and g(x) Let r = R(fg) the absolute value of R(fg) The quotient module M n m (Z)/ AB called the cokernel of ψ and denoted by cokerψ is of order r Let X M n m (Z) Then an equivalent condition for X AB is that the Sylvester equation (21) AT TB = X has a unique integral solution for matrix T Clearly if X 0 (mod r) then X AB Lemma 21 Let C f be the companion matrix of f(x) of degree n and α M n 1 (Z) be an integral column vector Then α C f I 1 if and only if the integer number f(1) divides l(α) the sum of components of α Proof Let f(x) = x n +a n 1 x n 1 + +a 1 x+a 0 and α = (c 1 c 2 c n ) T In this case C f I 1 = {(C f I)X X = (x 1 x 2 x n ) T M n 1 (Z)} So α C f I 1 if and only if the system of linear equations x 1 a 0 x n =c 1 x 1 x 2 a 1 x n =c 2 x 2 x 3 a 2 x n =c 3 x n 1 (1+a n 1 )x n =c n has an integral solution This system is equivalent to the following system x 1 a 0 x n =c 1 x 2 (a 0 +a 1 )x n =c 1 +c 2 x n 1 (a 0 +a 1 + +a n 1 )x n =c 1 +c 2 + +c n 1 (1+a 0 +a 1 + +a n 1 +a n )x n =c 1 +c 2 + +c n 1 +c n

10 486 Q Yang where S i = S i + AB i = 1r are all cosets of AB in M n m (Z) We define a group action of C(A) C(B) on cokerψ given by PS i Q = PS i Q for any (PQ) C(A) C(B) The action is well defined since P AB = AB = AB Q The set of orbits is denoted by cokerψ/c(a) C(B) Lemma 24 Let XY M n m (Z) Then a necessary and sufficient condition for X = Y is that X and Y are in the same orbit of the action That is S(AB) = cokerψ/c(a) C(B) Proof Note that X = Y if and only if X PYQ AB for some (PQ) C(A) C(B) which is equivalent to X = PYQ Therefore X = Y if and only if X and Y are in the same orbit From Lemma 24 when r = 1 S(AB) the class number of (AB)-equivalence is equal to 1 If r > 1 then 1 < S(AB) r because AB is a fixed point for all elements in C(A) C(B) In particular if r = 2 S(AB) = 2 LetM = A A Abethedirectsumofs-copiesofA andn = B B B be the direct sum of t-copies of B Let X 11 X 12 X 1t X 21 X 22 X 2t X = M sn tm(z) X s1 X s2 X st where X ij M n m Then we have the following Lemma 25 X MN if and only if X ij AB for i = 1s; j = 1t It is also easy to prove that the following block row/column elementary operations on X preserve the equivalence: 1 Row/column switching R i R j : switch the i-th row blocks and the j-th row blocks; C i C j : switch the i-th column blocks and the j-th column blocks 2 Row/column multiplication R i PR i : left-multiply the i-th row blocks by P where P C(A); C i C i Q: right-multiply the i-th column blocks by Q where Q C(B)

14 490 Q Yang We get X 1 Q 12 0 (mod p) so Q 12 0 (mod p) Note that the block Q 12 is a t 1 (m t 2 ) matrix and t 1 +(m t 2 ) > m the size of Q Therefore the determinant of Q satisfies Q 0 (mod p) This is impossible since Q is an unimodular matrix This completes the proof of uniqueness Case 2 n is not a powerofprime From (35) Φ n (1) = 1 and then M ϕ(n) 1 (Z) = C n I 1 There is only one (AI m )-equivalent class Therefore M A I m The proof of Theorem 15 is similar In this case we use the fact that { p n = 2p k p prime k 1 (36) Φ n ( 1) = 1 otherwise see [7] Proof of Theorem 17 By Lemma 11 and Lemma 31 we only need to calculate (AB)-equivalent classes for some special pairs of 2 2 matrices in Lemma 16 When A = K and B = W Clearly r = 3 The linear transformation ψ is given by ψ(t) = KT TW Then the Sylvester equation (21) becomes 1 0 T T = 1 1 It is equivalent to the system of linear equations t 11 t 12 =a t 11 +2t 12 =b t 21 t 22 =c =d t 21 a b c d which has integral solutions if and only if 3 a b Thus the submodule KW the image of ψ is { } a b KW = M 2 (Z) a b(mod 3) c d It isobviousthat E2E / KW Therefore cokerψ = M 2 (Z)/ KW = {0E2E} By choosing P = I C(K) Q = I C(W) we see that EQ P(2E) = 3 0 KW 0 0 and thus E = 2E (mod KW) Note that S(KW) > 1 hence S(KW) = {0E}
15 Conjugacy Classes of Torsion in GL n(z) 491 When A = U and B = W We also have r = 3 This time the Sylvester equation is equivalent to t 11 t 12 +t 21 =a t 11 +2t 12 +t 22 =b t 21 t 22 =c t 21 =d It is clear that UW = { a b c d } M 2 (Z) a+d b+c(mod 3) So cokerψ = {0E2E} and then S(UW) = {0E} Since A B = A B for any A and B we obtain that S( K W) = S( U W) = {0E} Similarly we have { } a b KJ = M 2 (Z) a+b c+d 0(mod 2) S(KJ) = {0EII E} c d { } a b UJ = M 2 (Z) a+b+c c+d 0(mod 2) S(UJ) = {0EI} c d { } a b W W = M 2 (Z) a+b+c a d(mod 2) S(W W) = {0E} c d In summary we have the following table A B S(A B) K or U W 0E K or U W 0E K J 0EII E U J 0EI W W 0 E We can use the results in this table Lemma 11 and Lemma 31 to complete the proof From above theorems and some simple calculations all torsion in GL 4 (Z) up to
