On Finite Subgroups in the General Linear Groups over an Algebraic Number Field
Ying Li · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2022
Abstract As is well-known, there are only finitely many isomorphic classes of finite subgroups in a given general linear group over the field of rational numbers. This result can be generalized to any algebraic number field. While the case of field of rational numbers is relatively well-studied, we still do not know much for general algebraic number field cases. In this article, we discuss the finiteness of isomorphic classes of finite subgroups of general linear groups over an algebraic number field. We give a method to calculate a multiplicative bound for the orders of finite subgroups and to classify finite cyclic subgroups.
