Abstract
Let be the projectivization (i.e., the set of one-dimensional vector subspaces) of a vector space of dimension over a field. Let be a closed (in the pointwise convergence topology) subgroup of the permutation group of the set . Suppose that contains the projective group and an arbitrary self-bijection of transforming a triple of collinear points to a non-collinear triple. It is well-known from \cite{KantorMcDonough} that if is finite then contains the alternating subgroup of . We show in Theorem \ref{density} below that , if is infinite.
