Semilinear representations of PGL

Let L be the function field of a projective space over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, and H be the group of projective transformations. An H-sheaf on is a collection of isomorphisms for each g ∈ H satisfying the chain rule. We construct, for any n > 1, a fully faithful functor from the category of finite-dimensional L-semilinear representations of H extendable to the semigroup End(L/k) to the category of coherent H-sheaves on The paper is motivated by a study of admissible representations of the automorphism group G of an algebraically closed extension of k of countable transcendence degree undertaken in 4]. The semigroup End(L/k) is considered as a subquotient of G, hence the condition on extendability. In the appendix it is shown that, if is either H, or a bigger subgroup in the Cremona group (generated by H and a certain pair of involutions), then any semilinear of degree one is an integral L-tensor power of It is also shown that this bigger subgroup has no non-trivial representations of finite degree if n > 1.
