SL2(R)

In mathematics, the special linear group SL(2, R) or SL2(R) is the group of 2 × 2 real matrices with determinant one: It is a connected non-compact simple real Lie group of dimension 3 with applications in geometry, topology, representation theory, and physics. SL(2, R) acts on the complex upper half-plane by fractional linear transformations. The group action factors through the quotient PSL(2, R) (the 2 × 2 projective special linear group over R). More specifically, PSL(2, R) = SL(2, R) / {±I}, where I denotes the 2 × 2 identity matrix. It contains the modular group PSL(2, Z). Also closely related is the 2-fold covering group, Mp(2, R), a metaplectic group (thinking of SL(2, R) as a symplectic group). Another related group is SL±(2, R), the group of real 2 × 2 matrices with determinant ±1; this is more commonly used in the context of the modular group, however. (Wikipedia).
