Exercise 13.3.9

The action of GL ( 3 , 𝔽 2 ) on the nonzero vectors of 𝔽 2 3 gives a group homomorphism GL ( 3 , 𝔽 2 ) S 7 . Prove that this map is one-to-one.

Proof.

Let

ψ { GL ( 3 , 𝔽 2 ) S 7 g σ : i { 1 , . . . , 7 } , g ν i = ν σ ( i )

If ψ ( g ) = ψ ( g ) , then g ν i = g ν i for all i { 1 , . . . , 7 } , then particularly g e 1 = g e 1 , g e 2 = g e 2 , g e 3 = g e 3 , where e 1 = ( 1 , 0 , 0 ) , e 2 = ( 0 , 1 , 0 ) , e 3 = ( 0 , 0 , 1 ) is the standard basis of 𝔽 2 3 . Since a linear map (or its matrix) is determined by the images of the vectors of a base, g = g

ψ : G S m is a one-to-one group homomorphism. □
