Abstract
We study the transference through finite index extensions of the notion of equational coherence, as well as its effective counterpart. We deduce an explicit algorithm for solving the following algorithmic problem about size two integral invertible matrices: ''given , decide whether is algebraic over the subgroup (i.e., whether there exist a non-trivial -equation such that ) and, in the affirmative case, compute finitely many such -equations further satisfying that any with is a product of conjugates of ''. The same problem for square matrices of size 4 and bigger is unsolvable.
