Abstract:
A highly efficient procedure for deciding if two given elements of ${\text {G}}{{\text {L}}_2}(\mathbf {Z}[\sqrt { - 1} ])$ are conjugate or not will be presented. It makes use of a continued fraction algorithm in $\mathbf {Z}[\sqrt { - 1} ]$ and gives a fundamental unit of any given quadratic extension of $\mathbf {Q}(\sqrt { - 1} )$.References
