Why is \(\mathrm{PSL}(2,7)\cong\mathrm{GL}(3,2)\)? (English) Zbl 1229.20046

Summary: We construct a straightforward, explicit isomorphism from the group \(\mathrm{PSL}(2,7)\) onto the group \(\mathrm{GL}(3,2)\). Our proof requires only elementary facts about groups, fields, and matrices. In particular, our proof does not utilize projective geometry, block designs, or simplicity arguments.
