Abstract

A group of matrices GG with entries in a number field KK is defined to be numerical if GG has a finite index subgroup of matrices whose entries are algebraic integers. It is shown that an irreducible or completely reducible subgroup of GL(n,K)GL(n,C)GL(n,K)\subset GL(n,\mathbb{C}) is numerical if and only if the traces of its elements are algebraic integers. Some examples are given.
