Abstract
In this presentation we will be studying the Special Orthogonal group which consists of matrices that are orthogonal with determinant 1. The values in our matrices are in a finite field of characteristic 2, this means we are working modulo 2. The goal of this research is to characterize the involutions for this group. Applications of our research can be found in many fields including molecular systems biology, rotational physics, and computer graphics.
