Title
The conjugacy problem in GL (n,Z)
Abstract
We present a new algorithm that, given two matrices in GL (n,Q), decides if they are conjugate in GL (n,Z) and, if so, determines a conjugating matrix. We also give an algorithm to construct a generating set for the centraliser in GL (n,Z) of a matrix in GL (n,Q). We do this by reducing these problems, respectively, to the isomorphism and automorphism group problems for certain modules over rings of the form OK[y]/(yl), where OK is the maximal order of an algebraic number field and l is an element of N, and then provide algorithms to solve the latter. The algorithms are practical and our implementations are publicly available in Magma.
