Abstract

We investigate the number of prime factors of individual entries for matrices in the special linear group over the integers. We show that, when properly normalised, it satisfies a central limit theorem of Erd\H{o}s-Kac-type. To do so, we employ a sieve-theoretic set-up due to Granville and Soundararajan. We also make use of an estimate coming from homogeneous dynamics due to Gorodnik and Nevo.
