Abstract
Let V denote a finite-dimensional vector space over some field. We say that a linear group G ≤ GL(V) is a linearly Kleiman group if, for every pair of linear subspaces v, u ≤ V, there is an element g ∈ G such that the subspaces g(v), u are in general position. The main result of this paper is the classification of connected linear algebraic groups over a field of characteristic zero which are linearly Kleiman. We also consider some properties of linearly Kleiman groups.
