Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the order m k-automorphisms of SL(2,k). We first characterize the forms that order m k-automorphisms of SL(2,k) take and then we find simple conditions on matrices A and B, involving eigenvalues and the field that the entries of A and B lie in, that are equivalent to isomorphy between the order m k-automorphisms InnA and InnB. We examine the number of isomorphy classes and conclude with examples for selected fields. |
