Abstract:
The article investigates the classification with precision up to equivalence of involutions in the algebra of upper triangular matrices over the ring of integers of algebraic numbers of quadratic fields.
The description of involutions in algebras represents one of the classical problems of ring theory. Standard examples of involutions are transposition in matrix algebra and conjugation in the field of complex numbers and the algebra of quaternions.
In the case where the field $P$ has a characteristic different from two, a complete description of involutions with precision up to their equivalence in the algebra $T_n(P)$ for any natural number $n$ was obtained in [15]. In this work [3] involutions in the algebra of upper triangular matrices over commutative rings are studied. If the ring is a field of characteristic $2$ or a Boolean ring, then necessary and sufficient conditions for the finiteness of the number of equivalence classes of involutions were found.
This article is a continuation of the work of [3]. In the article [3], in particular, the number of equivalence classes of involutions in the algebras of upper triangular matrices over the ring of integers was found. In this regard, the natural result is the problem of describing involutions with precision up to their equivalence in algebras of upper triangular matrices over the ring of algebraic integers of quadratic fields, to which this work is devoted. In the work, the number of equivalence classes of involutions in such algebras is found and the method of finding representatives in each equivalence class is illustrated with examples. Upon receipt the main results in this work, the apparatus of the theory of Pell's equations is significantly used.
