Abstract

The present paper deals with counting the number and orders of regular semisimple elements, together with the number of primary classes of GL ( n , q ) . The approach used in this paper depends essentially on partitions of positive integers ⩽ n. We give the numbers of regular semisimple elements and primary classes of GL ( n , q ) for n ∈ { 1 , 2 , … , 6 } and see that the number of regular semisimple elements is an integral polynomial in q, while the number of primary classes is a rational polynomial in q.
