  General linear group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n over a field F (such as R or C), written as GL(n, F), is the group of n×n invertible matrices with entries from F, with the group operation that of ordinary matrix multiplication.
The special linear group, written SL(n, F) or SL(n), is the subgroup of GL(n, F) consisting of matrices with determinant 1.
These groups are important in the theory of group representations, and also arise in the study of spatial symmetries and symmetries of vector spaces in general, as well as the study of polynomials.

 Projective linear group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The projective linear group of a vector space V over a field F is the quotient group
where GL(V) is the general linear group on V and Z(V) is the group of all nonzero scalar transformations of V.
The projective linear groups therefore generalise the case PGL(2,C) of Möbius transformations (sometimes called the Möbius group), which acts on the projective line.

 Group of Lie type - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a group of Lie type is a finite group related to the points of a simple algebraic group with values in a finite field.
A classical group is, roughly speaking, a special linear, orthogonal, symplectic, or unitary group.
The theory was clarified by the theory of algebraic groups, and the work of Claude Chevalley in the mid-1950s on the Lie algebras by means of which the Chevalley group concept was isolated.

 Encyclopedia: Zassenhaus group
In mathematics, a Zassenhaus group is a certain sort of doubly transitive permutation group.
In mathematics, a permutation group is a group G whose elements are permutations of a given set M, and whose operation is the composition of permutations in G (which are thought of as bijective functions from the set M to itself); the relationship is often written as (G,M).
In mathematics, a normal subgroup N of a group G is a subgroup invariant under conjugation; that is, for each element n in N and each g in G, the element g-1ng is still in N. The statement N is a normal subgroup of G is written:.

 The Subgroups of #tex2html_wrap_inline2113#, or How to Compute the Table of Marks of a Finite Group.
The concept of a table of marks of a finite group G was introduced by William Burnside in the second edition of his classic book Theory of Groups of Finite Order [Burnside 1911, chapter XII,].
The purpose of this article is to introduce a method for the construction of the table of marks which is independent of the knowledge of the complete subgroup lattice of G and therefore can be applied to groups G which are too big to compute their complete subgroup lattice.
Section 1 recalls basic properties of finite group actions, introduces the table of marks and describes its relation to the Burnside ring of a finite group.
