Let D be a 2-(v,k,1) design admitting a block-transitive, pointprimitive but not flag-transitive automorphism group G. Let kr = (k,v-1) and q = pf for prime p. In this paper we prove that if G and D are as above and q (3(krk-kr + 1)f)1/3, then G does not admit a simple group E6(q) as its socle.展开更多

文摘This article is a contribution to the study of block-transitive automorphism groups of 2-(v,k,1) block designs. Let D be a 2-(v,k,1) design admitting a block-transitive, pointprimitive but not flag-transitive automorphism group G. Let kr = (k,v-1) and q = pf for prime p. In this paper we prove that if G and D are as above and q (3(krk-kr + 1)f)1/3, then G does not admit a simple group E6(q) as its socle.
