Similarity of Matrices over Dedekind Rings

Number Theory 2025-12-09 v4

Abstract

We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent by a finite covering and verify this conjecture for 2×22\times2 matrices and separable characteristic polynomials.
