Abstract: In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix A in M to be finitely G-determined, where M is the ring of 2 x 2 matrices whose entries are formal power series over an infinite field, and G is a group acting on M by change of coordinates together with multiplication by invertible matrices from both sides.


To describe the main result of this paper, we need some preliminaries. Let \(K\) be an infinite field, \(R=KX=KX_1,\ldots,X_s\) the formal power series ring in \(s\) indeterminates over \(K\) and \(\mathcal{M}=(X_1,\ldots,X_s)\) its maximal ideal. For \(m,n\in\mathbb{N}^*\), let \(M_{m,n}\) be the set of \(m\times n\) matrices with entries in \(R\). Consider the group \(G=\big(\mathrm{GL}(m,R)\times\mathrm{GL}(n,R)^{op}\big)\propto\mathrm{Aut}(R)\) where \(\big(\mathrm{GL}(n,R)\big)^{op}\) is the opposite group of \(\mathrm{GL}(n,R)\) and \(\mathrm{Aut}(R)\) the group of automorphisms defined on \(R\). The group \(G\) acts on \(M_{m,n}\) in the following way: \(\big(U,V,\phi,A\big)\longrightarrow U.\phi(A).V\), where \(A=\big[a_{ij}(X)\big]\in M_{m,n}\), \(U\in\mathrm{GL}(m,R)\), \(V\in \big(\mathrm{GL}(n,R)\big)^{op}\) and \(\phi(A)=\big[\phi(a_{ij}(X))\big]=\big[a_{ij}(\phi(X))\big]\) with \(\phi(X)=(\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_s)\), \(\phi_i=\phi(X_i)\in\mathcal M\) for all \(i=1,\ldots,s\). We say that the matrices \(A,B\in M_{m,n}\) are \(G\)-equivalent and we denote \(A\stackrel{G}{\sim} B\) if \(B\) is in the orbit of \(A\). A matrix \(A\in M_{m,n}\) is said to be \(G\) \(k\)-determined if for each matrix \(B\in M_{m,n}\) with \(B-A\in\mathcal{M}^{k+1}.M_{m,n}\), we have \(B\stackrel{G}{\sim} A\). A matrix \(A\) is called finitely \(G\)-determined if there exists a positive integer \(k\) such that it is \(G\) \(k-\)determined. For a matrix \(A\in M_{m,n}\), we consider the \(R-\)module \(\tilde T_A(GA)=<E_{m,pq}.A>+<A.E_{n,hl}>+\mathcal M.<\frac{\partial A}{\partial X_{\nu}}>\), where \(<E_{m,pq}.A>\) is the \(R-\) submodule generated by \(E_{m,pq}.A\), \(1\leq p,q\leq m\), with \(E_{m,pq}\) the \((p,q)\)-th canonical matrix of \(\mathrm{Mat}(m,n,R)\) (\(1\) at place \((p,q)\) and \(0\) elsewhere) and \(<\frac{\partial A}{\partial X_{\nu}}>\) is the \(R-\) submodule generated by the matrices \(\frac{\partial A}{\partial X_{\nu}}=\big[\frac{\partial a_{ij}}{\partial X_{\nu}}(X)\big]\), \(1\leq \nu\leq s\). The main result of this note is: Let \(A\in\mathcal{M}.M_{2,2}\). Then \(A\) is finitely \(G-\)determined if and only if \(\dim_KM_{2,2}\big/\tilde T_A(GA)<\infty\).
