A classification of flag-transitive block designs

چکیده
In this article, we investigate 2- $$(v,k,\lambda )$$ designs with $$\gcd (r,\lambda )=1$$ admitting flag-transitive automorphism groups G. We prove that if G is an almost simple group, then such a design belongs to one of the eight infinite families 2-designs or it eleven well-known examples. describe all these examples designs. We, in particular, $${\mathcal {D}}$$ symmetric (k,\lambda group G, either $$G\leqslant \mathrm {A}\Gamma {L}_{1}(q)$$ for some odd prime power q, point-hyperplane unique Hadamard parameters (11, 5, 2).

2 - Transitive and flag - transitive designs
Throughout this paper V always will denote a design with "t; points, k > 2 points per line, and>' = 1 line through any two different points. Let G <:: Aut (V). I will primarily be interested in the case in which G either is 2-transitive on the points of VOl' is transitive on the flags (incident point-line pairs) ofV. Note that 2-transitivity implies flag-transitivity since>. = 1. The subject ma...
متن کاملThe classification of flag-transitive Steiner 4-designs
Among the properties of homogeneity of incidence structures flagtransitivity obviously is a particularly important and natural one. Consequently, in the last decades flag-transitive Steiner t-designs (i.e. flag-transitive t-(v, k, 1) designs) have been investigated, whereas only by the use of the classification of the finite simple groups has it been possible in recent years to essentially char...
متن کاملImprimitive flag-transitive symmetric designs
A recent paper of O’Reilly Regueiro obtained an explicit upper bound on the number of points of a flagtransitive, point-imprimitive, symmetric design in terms of the number of blocks containing two points. We improve that upper bound and give a complete list of feasible parameter sequences for such designs for which two points lie in at most ten blocks. Classifications are available for some of...
متن کاملFlag-transitive point-primitive $(v,k,4)$ symmetric designs with exceptional socle of Lie type
Let $G$ be an automorphism group of a $2$-$(v,k,4)$ symmetric design $mathcal D$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is flag-transitive point-primitive, then the socle of $G$ cannot be an exceptional group of Lie type.
متن کاملClassification of Flag-Transitive Steiner Quadruple Systems
A Steiner quadruple system of order v is a 3 − (v, 4, 1) design, and will be denoted SQS(v). Using the classification of finite 2-transitive permutation groups all SQS(v) with a flag-transitive automorphism group are completely classified, thus solving the ”still open and longstanding problem of classifying all flag-transitive 3− (v, k,1) designs” (cf. [5, p. 273], [6]) for the smallest value o...
