Review text

In 1984 \textit{M. Aschbacher} classified the maximal subgroups \(H\) of the classical groups [Invent. Math. 76, 469-514 (1984; Zbl 0537.20023)]. There were eight families and one exceptional case (\(H\) an almost simple group induced by an absolutely irreducible subgroup). In the spirit of F. Klein, geometry comes from groups, the author discusses some geometries and permutation representations related to the eight families for the group \(\text{PSL}(n,q)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0871.00034].
