==Examples of unimodular matrices== Unimodular matrices form a [[subgroup]] of the [[general linear group]] under [[matrix multiplication]], i.e. the following matrices are unimodular: * [[Identity matrix]] * The [[Matrix inverse|inverse]] of a unimodular matrix * The [[Matrix multiplication|product]] of two unimodular matrices Other examples include: * [[Pascal matrix|Pascal matrices]] * [[Permutation matrix|Permutation matrices]] * the three transformation matrices in the ternary [[tree of primitive Pythagorean triples]] * Certain transformation matrices for [[Rotation matrix|rotation]], [[Shear mapping|shearing]] (both with determinant 1) and [[Reflection matrix|reflection]] (determinant β1). * The unimodular matrix used (possibly implicitly) in [[lattice reduction]] and in the [[Hermite normal form]] of matrices. * The [[Kronecker product]] of two unimodular matrices is also unimodular. This follows since <math> \det(A \otimes B) = (\det A)^q (\det B)^p, </math> where ''p'' and ''q'' are the dimensions of ''A'' and ''B'', respectively.
