| Dec 12, 2022 at 18:27 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | My guess is that Burnside is implicitly considering the projectivized map $$\bar{\phi} \colon \mathbb{P}(V) \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^{n-1}.$$ Such a map is induced by a linear system on $\mathbb{P}(V)$, whose moving part gives the "variable systems" and whose fixed part (if it exists) gives the "fixed systems". | |
