Projective Linear Group - Larger Groups

Larger Groups

The projective linear group is contained within larger groups, notably:

  • Projective semilinear group, PΓL, which allows field automorphisms.
  • Cremona group, of birational automorphisms; any biregular automorphism is linear, so PGL coincides with the group of biregular automorphisms.

Famous quotes containing the words larger and/or groups:

    We have ... dreamed so much and observed so little, that our imaginations have grown larger than the world we live in, and our judgments have dwindled down to a point.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.
