Algebra, II

In a projective space P(V)P(V) of dimension n over a field K, one calls a projective frame a set S of n+2n + 2 points, any n+1n + 1 of which form a projectively free system. If S=(ai)0≤i≤n+1S = (a_i)_{0 \leq i \leq n+1} and S′=(ai′)0≤i≤n+1S' = (a'_i)_{0 \leq i \leq n+1} are two arbitrary projective frames of P(V)P(V), now prove that there exists a transform f∈PGL(V)f \in PGL(V) such that f(ai)=ai′f(a_i) = a'_i for 0≤i≤n+10 \leq i \leq n + 1. For this transform to be unique, it is necessary and sufficient that K be commutative. (Reduce to the case where ai′=aia'_i = a_i for all i, and observe that one can always write (with the notation of II, p. 133) ai=π(bi)a_i = \pi(b_i), where (bi)1≤i≤n+1(b_i)_{1 \leq i \leq n+1} is a basis of V, and b0=b1+b2+⋯+bn+1b_0 = b_1 + b_2 + \cdots + b_{n+1}.) *Give an example where K is a field of quaternions and where there exists an infinite set T of points of P(V)P(V),
