Unimodularity
The word unimodularity describes various properties in mathematics :
- A unimodular affinity has determinants .
- A unimodular form is a bilinear form whose associated matrix is unimodular.
- A unimodular grid is a grid with discriminants .
- A unimodular group is a locally compact topological group whose left and right hair measurements coincide.
- A unimodular complex number has magnitude , a unimodular function has complex values of magnitude .
- Depending on the definition, a matrix is called unimodular if:
- Its determinant is 1, so it is an element of the special linear group .
- Its entries are integers and their determinant is 1 or −1, see integer unimodular matrix .
- Its determinant is 1 or −1, see unimodular transformation .
- The determinant is a unit (for matrices over a general commutative ring with one), i.e. the matrix is regular .
- A unimodular transformation is a linear transformation with whole rational coefficients and determinants .
- A (finite-dimensional) Hopf algebra is unimodular if and only if every left integral is also a right one.
