Let p be an prime. Use the action of G = GL2(Z/pZ) on (Z/pZ)2 and the orbit-stabilizer theorem to compute the order of G (Given an element x ∈ X, the orbit O(x) of x is the subsetO(x)={g·x: g∈G}⊂X. Here, we write g · x for ρ(g)(x). The stabilizer of x ∈ X is the subset Gx ={g∈G: g·x=x}⊂G. This is a subgroup of G, and the orbit-stabilizer theorem says (in a particular form) that if G is a finite...
