Similarity classes of 3x3 matrices over a local principal ideal ring

Group Theory 2010-06-15 v2 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

In this paper similarity classes of three by three matrices over a local principal ideal commutative ring are analyzed. When the residue field is finite, a generating function for the number of similarity classes for all finite quotients of the ring is computed explicitly.
