The extended modular group acting on the projective line over a Galois field (Q1825282)

Let \(F_ p\) be the finite field of prime order p, where \(p\equiv \pm 1 (mod 7)\), let \(PL(F_ p)=F_ p\cup \{\infty \}\) be the projective line over \(F_ p\) and let \(\Delta (2,3,7)=<x,y:\) \(x^ 2=y^ 3=(xy)^ 7=1>\). Each homomorphism from \(\Delta\) (2,3,7) to \(PGL(F_ p)\) gives rise (via the natural action of \(PGL(2,F_ p)\) on \(PL(F_ p))\) to an action on \(PL(F_ p)\), and this action has a corresponding coset diagram. In this paper the author examines symmetry patterns in these diagrams for the first few p.
