โฆ Synopsis
Given two matrices A and B in GL, ( F,), where q is a power of a prime and Fq is the finite field with q elements, we say that A and B are congruent if there is a matrix C in GL2( F,) such that A = CTBC. We show that there are q + 3 congruence classes in GL,(F,) for odd q and q + 1 classes for even q, and exhibit representatives for them.
Theorem 1. For odd q, there are q + 3 congruence class of matrices in GL2( F,).

We study the spherical Bessel functions of generic representations of a reductive group over finite fields. We show that in the case of GL 2 (F q 2 ), the relation between spherical Bessel functions and Bessel functions gives another characterization of the Shintani lifting.
We determine precise conditions in order that every n x n matrix of O's and l's with exactly k l's in each row and column has the property that each subpermutation matrix of rank d can be extended to a permutation matrix. An application is given to completing partial latin squares.
