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:
“Men are but children of a larger growth,
Our appetites as apt to change as theirs,
And full as craving too, and full as vain.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
