Abstract

Let GG be the simple group PSL(3,2p){\rm PSL}(3,2^p), where pp is a prime number. For any subgroup HH of GG, we compute the M\"obius function of HH in the subgroup lattice of GG. To this aim, we describe the intersections of maximal subgroups of GG. We point out some connections of the M\"obius function with other combinatorial objects, and, in this context, we compute the reduced Euler characteristic of the order complex of the subposet of rr-subgroups of PGL(3,q){\rm PGL}(3,q), for any prime rr and any prime power qq.
