Comments

All rows are multiplicative.

Equivalently, the number of invertible n X n matrices mod k.

Also, for k prime (but not higher prime powers) the number of nonsingular n X n matrices over GF(k).

For k >= 2, n! divides T(n,k) since the subgroup of GL(n,k) consisting of all permutation matrices is isomorphic to S_n (the n-th symmetric group). Note that a permutation matrix is an orthogonal matrix, hence having determinant +-1. - Jianing Song, Oct 29 2022
