How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10991748 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
PSL(2,ℝ)
PSL(2,ℝ) is the Lie group of orientation-preserving isometries of the hyperbolic plane, realized as 2×2 real matrices with determinant 1 modulo their center.
-
B.
SL(2,C)
SL(2,C) is the complex special linear group of 2×2 matrices with determinant 1, which serves as the double cover and spinor representation group of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group in four-dimensional spacetime.
-
C.
SL(2,R)
SL(2,R) is the Lie group of 2×2 real matrices with determinant 1, fundamental in representation theory, geometry, and the study of symmetries in mathematics and physics.
-
D.
PSL(2,ℤ/Nℤ)
PSL(2,ℤ/Nℤ) is the projective special linear group of 2×2 matrices with entries in the ring of integers modulo N, modulo scalar matrices, forming a fundamental example of a finite (or, for composite N, generally non-simple) group in algebra and number theory.
-
E.
PSL(2,7)
PSL(2,7) is a finite simple group of order 168, notable as the full automorphism group of the Klein quartic and as a key example in the theory of projective linear groups over finite fields.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
