IMC 2021 Problem 6

    For a prime number pp , let GL2(Z/pZ)GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}) be the group of invertible 2×22 \times 2 matrices of residues modulo pp , and let SpS_p be the symmetric group (the group of all permutations) on pp elements. Show that there is no injective group homomorphism ϕ:GL2(Z/pZ)→Sp\phi : GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}) \rightarrow S_p .
