Determinant for automorphisms of semidirect product of groups

Abstract

A description of the endomorphisms of semidirect products of two groups as a group of $2\times 2$ matrices of maps is already known. Using this description, we have studied the concept of determinant for the endomorphisms of semidirect product of two groups. A characterization of the invertible endomorphisms is given with the help of the tools developed using the determinants.
