Abstract
We investigate actions of a certain Bianchi group B=PSL
2(O
2) on the projective line over the finite field, K=PL(F
p), by drawing coset diagrams. We prove that B acts on K only if p-2 is a perfect square in F
p. We prove that the permutation group (emerging from this) of the action is a subgroup of A
p+1, and describe how the connectors connect different fragments occuring in the coset diagrams of the action of B on K. We also show that the group each orbit after removing the connectors from these coset diagrams is isomorphic to A
4 and establish formulae to count the number of orbits for each p and prove that the action is transitive.
