Frieze patterns over finite commutative local rings

Abstract

We count numbers of tame frieze patterns with entries in a finite commutative local ring. For the ring Z/prZ\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z}, pp a prime and rNr\in\mathbb{N} we obtain closed formulae for all heights. These may be interpreted as formulae for the numbers of certain relations in quotients of the modular group.
