The 1-eigenspace for matrices in $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$
  Fix some prime number $\ell$ and consider an open subgroup $G$ either of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$ or of the normalizer of a Cartan subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$. The elements of $G$ act on $(\mathbb{Z}/\ell^n \mathbb{Z})^2$ for every $n\geqslant 1$ and hence also on the direct limit, and we call 1-eigenspace the group of fixed points. We partition $G$ by considering the possible group structures for the 1-eigenspace and show how to evaluate with a finite procedure the Haar measure of all sets in the partition. The results apply to all elliptic curves defined over a number field, where we consider the image of the $\ell$-adic representation and the Galois action on the torsion points of order a power of $\ell$.
