Let F q be the finite field with q elements, q ¼ p n ; p 2 N a prime, and Mat 2:2 ðF q Þ the vector space of 2 Â 2-matrices over F. The group GLð2; FÞ acts on Mat 2;2 ðF q Þ by conjugation. In this note, we determine the invariants of this action. In contrast to the case of an infinite field, where
