New sequences of non-free rational points

Abstract

We exhibit some new infinite families of rational values of τ\tau, some of them squares of rationals, for which the group or even the semigroup generated by the matrices (1101)\left( \begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{smallmatrix} \right) and (10τ1)\left( \begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ \tau & 1 \end{smallmatrix} \right) is not free.

Comments

Fixed a typo: I had written "free" instead of "non-free" in a few places; and made a few other minor edits
