Abstract Let F q \mathbb{F}_{q} be the finite field with đ elements and consider the đ-dimensional F q \mathbb{F}_{q} -vector space V = F q n V=\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n} . In this paper, we define a closure operator on the subgroup lattice of the group G = PGL âą ( V ) G=\mathrm{PGL}(V) . Let đ denote the Möbius function of this lattice. The aim is to use this closure operator to characterize subgroups đ» of đș for which ÎŒ âą ( H , G ) â 0 \mu(H,G)\neq 0 . Moreover, we establish a polynomial bound on the number c âą ( m ) c(m) of closed subgroups đ» of index đ in đș for which the lattice of đ»-invariant subspaces of đ is isomorphic to a product of chains. This bound depends only on đ and not on the choice of đ and đ. It is achieved by considering a similar closure operator for the subgroup lattice of GL âą ( V ) \mathrm{GL}(V) and the same results proven for this group.
