Statement

For a vector space over a prime field, or an elementary abelian group

Suppose is a prime number and is an elementary abelian group of order , i.e., a vector space of dimension over the field of elements. Then, the following three sets have the same size:

  1. The set of minimal subgroups of , i.e., subgroups of order .
  2. The set of maximal subgroups of , i.e., subgroups of order .
  3. The projective space for (this is a projective space of dimension over the field of elements).

Moreover, the size of all three sets is:

For a vector space over a finite field

Suppose is a prime power and is a vector space of dimension over the field with elements. Then, the following three sets have the same size:

  1. The set of one-dimensional subspaces of .
  2. The set of codimension one subspaces of .
  3. The projective space for (this is a projective space of dimension over the field of elements).

Moreover, the size of all three sets is:
