special linear group
noun1
Group theory, Mathematics, Sciences 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.
- 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.1972, Johan G.
