Review text

Let G be a permutation group on X. A subset of X is called regular if only the identity leaves this set fixed. Regular sets for AGL(d,q) and PGL(d,q) with \(q\geq 3\) have been studied by \textit{J. D. Key} and \textit{J. Siemons} [Result. Math. 11, 97-116 (1987; Zbl 0618.20002)]. The present author deals with the case \(q=2\). In particular, she shows that AGL(d,2) has a regular set if and only if \(d\geq 6\) and that \(PGL(d+1,2)\) has regular sets if and only if \(d\geq 4\). These results are then applied to show that - with finitely many exceptions - any collineation group of a finite affine or projective space over GF(2) is geometric (i.e., is the full automorphism group of some system of subsets of size k for a suitable k).
