Dear GAP Forum,
in addition to Frank's reply to Evgeny's question:
The GAP function 'BlownUpMat' is intended for this purpose,
see the GAP Reference Manual for details.
Here is an example.
gap> A:= [ [ Z(2^2), 0*Z(2) ], [ 0*Z(2), Z(2)^0 ] ];;
gap> Display( BlownUpMat( Basis( GF(4) ), A );
. 1 . .
1 1 . .
. . 1 .
. . . 1
Note that the first argument must be a basis
of the field extension F/K in question;
the submatrices in the result are the matrices
of the K-linear mappings on F that are defined
by the multiplication with elements of F.
All the best,
Thomas
