Definitions

For given field F and order n, the group of n×n matrices with determinant 1, with the group operations of matrix multiplication and matrix inversion.

Examples

“The complex special linear group SL(n, C) is the subgroup of GL(n, C) consisting of matrices with determinant one.[…]The special linear groups are sometimes also called unimodular groups.”

“1998, F. Celler, C. R. Leedham-Green, A constructive recognition algorithm for the special linear group, Robert Curtis, Robert Wilson (editors), The Atlas of Finite Groups: Ten Years On, Cambridge University Press, 2003 Digitally Printed Edition, page 11, In the first part of this note we present an algorithm to recognise constructively the special linear group.”

“Hence, all congruent bases induced from a game context belong to the special linear group SL(m).”
