Problem Statement

Consider the matrix

M=(200020003).M = \begin{pmatrix}2 & 0 & 0 \\0 & 2 & 0 \\0 & 0 & 3\end{pmatrix}.

Let the transpose of a matrix PP be denoted by PTP^T. Find the square of the number of 3×33 \times 3 invertible matrices PP with integer entries, such that

P1=PTandPM=MP.P^{-1} = P^T \quad \text{and} \quad PM = MP.

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] To solve the problem, we need to find the number of 3×3 invertible matrices PP with integer entries such that P1=PTP^{-1} = P^T (orthogonal matrices) and PM=MPPM = MP (commuting with MM).

  1. Orthogonal Matrices with Integer Entries: Such matrices must have columns that are orthonormal. Since the entries are integers, each column must be a standard basis vector (with ±1 in one position and 0 elsewhere). These are signed permutation matrices.

  2. Commutation Condition PM=MPPM = MP: For PP to commute with MM, the permutation part of PP must preserve the diagonal entries of MM. Since MM has diagonal entries 2, 2, 3, the permutation can only swap the first two positions (both with value 2) and must leave the third position (value 3) fixed. This gives 2 possible permutations (identity and swap of first two).

  3. Sign Changes: Each column of PP can independently be multiplied by ±1. For each of the 2 permutations, there are 23=82^3 = 8 possible sign combinations.

  4. Total Count: The total number of valid matrices is 2×8=162 \times 8 = 16. Squaring this result gives 162=25616^2 = 256.

[PYTHON]

The problem is solved through logical reasoning, but we can verify the count programmatically.

However, since the solution is derived analytically, we can simply print the result.
