For the general linear group over , choose a nonzero first column in ways and a second column outside its span in ways. Thus
Since and , the residue has order three. The nine diagonal matrices , with , form a subgroup isomorphic to . It is an abelian group and a Sylow subgroup for . Every other Sylow subgroup for is conjugate to it by the Sylow theorems, hence is also Abelian.
