Meanings

1. For given field F and order n, the group of n×n matrices with determinant 1, with the group operations of matrix multiplication and matrix inversion.
   • Hence, all congruent bases induced from a game context belong to the special linear group SL(m). 2014, Holger Ingmar Meinhardt, The Pre-Kernel as a Tractable Solution for Cooperative Games: An Exercise in Algorithmic Game Theory, Springer, page 100:
   • The complex special linear group SL(n, C) is the subgroup of GL(n, C) consisting of matrices with determinant one.[…]The special linear groups are sometimes also called unimodular groups. 1972, Johan G.
