Distributions of Matrices over \mathbb{F}_q[x]

Abstract: In this paper, we count the number of matrices

A = (A_{i, j}) i n m a t h c a l O s u b s e t M a t_{n i m e s n} (m a t h b b F_{q} [x])

where

d e g (A_{i, j}) l e q k, 1 l e q i, j l e q n

,

d e g (d e t A) = t

, and

m a t h c a l O

a given orbit of

G L_{n} (m a t h b b F_{q} [x])

. By an elementary argument, we show that the above number is exactly

. This formula gives an equidistribution result over

m a t h b b F_{q} [x]

which is an analogue of a result over

m a t h b b Z

proved before.
