I am looking to classify the homomorphisms from the group $PSL(2,p)=Aut(\mathbb{P}^1\mathbb{F}_p)$ to $PGL(n,2)=GL(n,2)=Aut(\mathbb{F}_{2^n})$ when $p$ is a Mersenne prime, i.e. $2^n=p+1$. There is a bijection $\mathbb{P}^1\mathbb{F}_p \rightarrow \mathbb{F}_{2^n} \cong \mathbb{F}_2[x]/g(x)$ given by $k \mapsto x^\infty+x^k$ where $x^\infty=0$. Given a Möbius transformation $f$, define the homomorphism $T$ by $T_f(x^\infty+x^k)=x^{f(\infty)}+x^{f(k)}$. When $n=3$, $p=7$, $T$ is an [isomorphism][1]. What is $im(T)\subset PGL(n,2)$?
