Embeddings<br />

Comment 1: As an example, let G = P SL(n, p) acts on Ω =<br />

points <strong>of</strong> projective space. Let ∆ be any other G-set, and<br />

assume that we are in the embedding case. Take some g ∈ G.<br />

How does g act on ∆ For instance, if g is a transvection<br />

then some part <strong>of</strong> ∆ looks exactly like Ω : many fixed points,<br />

with the remainder all cycles <strong>of</strong> length p.
