How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T21277628 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
PSL(2,7)
PSL(2,7) is a finite simple group of order 168, notable as the full automorphism group of the Klein quartic and as a key example in the theory of projective linear groups over finite fields.
-
B.
special unitary group SU(n)
The special unitary group SU(n) is a fundamental compact Lie group consisting of n×n unitary matrices with determinant 1, central in mathematics and physics, especially in quantum theory and gauge symmetries.
-
C.
SL(2,7)
SL(2,7) is the special linear group of 2×2 matrices with determinant 1 over the finite field with 7 elements, a non-abelian finite group of order 336 that plays an important role in group theory and geometry.
-
D.
PSL(2,\mathbb{C})
PSL(2,ℂ) is the group of Möbius transformations acting as all biholomorphic automorphisms of the Riemann sphere.
-
E.
PGL(2,7)
PGL(2,7) is the projective general linear group of 2×2 invertible matrices over the finite field with 7 elements, a finite group of order 336 that acts as the full collineation group of the projective line over that field.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
