Conjugation Differential Invariants of SL2(𝔽q) on trace-free matrices
Abstract
Let q=pk be prime power, let F= 𝔽q and let V be the vector space of 2 by 2 matrices over F with trace zero. Let G = SL2(F). Then G acts on V via conjugation. Let Ω= S(V*) ⊗ Λ(V*) be the algebra of differential forms on V. A minimal generating set for ΩG when q=3 was computed by the author and Meyer. In this article we compute a minimal generating set for ΩG for all q.
