We present a method to determine Frobenius elements of the associated Galois group which incorporates the linear structure available. We are able to distinguish $SL_n(\\mathbb{F}_l)$-conjugacy from $GL_n(\\mathbb{F}_l)$-conjugacy; this can be thought of as being analogous to a result which distinguishes $A_n$-conjugacy from $S_n$-conjugacy when the Galois group is considered as a permutation group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-11T17:19:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galois representations", "determine frobenius elements", "number field", "associated galois group", "elliptic curve" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
