 ProjectiveGeneralLinearGroup
 construct a permutation group isomorphic to a projective general linear group

 Calling Sequence ProjectiveGeneralLinearGroup(n, q) PGL(n, q)

Parameters

 n - a positive integer q - power of a prime number

Description

 • The projective general linear group $PGL\left(n,q\right)$ is the quotient of the general linear group $GL\left(n,q\right)$ by its center.
 • The ProjectiveGeneralLinearGroup( n, q ) command returns a permutation group isomorphic to the projective general linear group $PGL\left(n,q\right)$. The PGL(n, q) command is provided as an alias.
 • The ranges for n and q are as follows:

 $n=2$ $q\le 100$ $n=3$ $q\le 20$ $n=4$ $q\le 10$ $n=5$ $q\le 5$ $n=6,7,8,9,10$ $q=2$
