Abstract
Let the torus T 2 be realized in the form of the unit square in the plane (x 1, x 2) with pairwise identified sides. A transformation \( x \rightarrow Ax = \bar{x} \), given by the integer valued matrix \( A = \| a_{ij} \| \) with determinant ±1 acting on the torus according to the formula \( \bar{x}_{i} = \sum_{j} a_{ij} x_{j} \text{ (mod 1)} \), i = 1, 2, is called an automorphism of T 2.
