Groups of Periodically Defined Linear Transformations of an Infinite-Dimensional Vector Space

Abstract

The notions of periodically defined and residual periodically defined linear transformations of an infinitedimensional vector space $V$ over the field $K$ are introduced. A group of all strictly residual periodically defined transformations and its subgroups of $u$-periodically defined transformations (where $u$ is a supernatural number) are investigated. A continual family of simple groups obtained as infinite-dimensional analogs of $PSL_n (K)$ is constructed.
