Abstract

Let VV be a left vector space over a division ring and let P(V){\mathcal P}(V) be the associated projective space. We describe all finite subsets XVX\subset V such that every permutation on XX can be extended to a linear automorphism of VV and all finite subsets XP(V){\mathcal X}\subset {\mathcal P}(V) such that every permutation on X{\mathcal X} can be extended to an element of PGL(V){\rm PGL}(V). Also, we reformulate the results in terms of linear and projective representations of symmetric groups.
