Extract

Let q be a prime power, which will be fixed throughout the paper, let k be a field, and let be the field with q elements. Let Gn(k) be the general linear group GL(n, k), and Sn(k) the special linear group SL(n, k). The corresponding groups over will be denoted simply by Gn and Sn. We may embed Gn(k) in Gn+1(k) via the map

Forming the direct limit of the resulting system, we obtain the stable general linear groupG∞(k) over k.
