International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1979, vol. 2, 1-5

Abstract:

Let F q = G F ( q ) denote the finite field of order q and F ( m , q ) the ring of m × m matrices over F q . Let Ω be a group of permutations of F q . If A , B ϵ F ( m , q ) then A is equivalent to B relative to Ω if there exists ϕ ϵ Ω such that ϕ ( A ) = B where ϕ ( A ) is computed by substitution. Formulas are given for the number of equivalence classes of a given order and for the total number of classes induced by a cyclic group of permutations.
