Given an invertible 2×2 matrix with coefficients in Z/pZ, write down the permutation it induces on the p2-1 nonzero vectors.
Give a small prime p |
|
Give a 2×2 matrix M
with numbers in {0,...,p-1}, e.g., [[1,1],[1,4]] |
|
The permutation in the answer is a list of the images of 1,...,p2-1 under M. Here, the nonzero vector [i,j] is identified with i+p(j-1), where i and j are taken to lie in {1,...,p} (so 0 is replaced by p). |
