Dear all, once again my question is all about $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and $SL_2(\mathbb{Q})$ ! Which elements in $M \in SL_2(\mathbb{Q})$ can you write in the following form: $M= NBN^{-1}$ with $N \in GL_2(\mathbb{Q})$ and $B \in SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$? It is surely nor all of $SL_2(\mathbb{Q})$ (look at traces), but I do not have any guess which matrices I get! Thank you very much again! Karl
