Linear characters of \(\mathrm{SL}_2\) over Dedekind domains. (Q2377426): Difference between revisions

For an important class of arithmetic Dedekind domains \(\mathfrak o\) including the ring of integers of not totally complex number fields, the authors describe explicitly the group of linear characters of \(\text{SL}(2,\mathfrak o)\). For this, they introduce and determine, for arbitrary Dedekind domains \(\mathfrak o\), the group of linear characters of \(\text{SL}(2,\mathfrak o)\) whose kernel is a congruence subgroup.
