Abstract
For an integer n≥8 divisible by 4, let Rn=Z[ζn,1/2] and let U2(Rn) be the group of 2×2 unitary matrices with entries in Rn. Set U2ζ(Rn)={γ∈U2(Rn)∣detγ∈⟨ζn⟩}. Let Gn⊆U2ζ(Rn) be the Clifford-cyclotomic group generated by a Hadamard matrix H=21[1+i1+i1+i−1−i] and the gate T=[100ζn]. We prove that Gn=U2ζ(Rn) if and only if n=8,12,16,24 and that [U2ζ(Rn):Gn]=∞ if U2ζ(Rn)=Gn. We compute the Euler-Poincar\'{e} characteristics of the groups SU2(Rn), PSU2(Rn), PU2(Rn), PU2ζ(Rn), and SO3(Rn+).
