Projective special linear group over the field with five elements

ID: projective-special-linear-group-over-the-field-with-five-elements

The special linear group has nonzero first columns and five second columns giving determinant one, hence order ; its centre is . In the quotient by this centre, the nonidentity conjugacy classes have sizes , corresponding to projective element orders . These arise from trace zero, paired traces , and paired unipotent traces . No proper union of these classes with the identity has size dividing , so the quotient is simple. The simple groups with order a power of two times fifteen result identifies it with .
