Flag-transitive point-primitive 2-(v,k,4) symmetric designs and two dimensional classical groups

Let D be a 2-（v, k, 4） symmetric design and G be a flag-transitive point-primitive automorphism group of D with X ≥G ≤Aut（X） where X ≌ PSL2（q）.Then D is a 2-（15,8,4） symmetric design with X = PSL2（9） and Xx = PGL2（3） where x is a point of D.

Flag-Transitive 6-(v, k, 2) Designs

The automorphism group of a flag-transitive 6–(v, k, 2) design is a 3-homogeneous permutation group. Therefore, using the classification theorem of 3–homogeneous permutation groups, the classification of flag-transitive 6-(v, k,2) designs can be discussed. In this paper, by analyzing the combination quantity relation of 6–(v, k, 2) design and the characteristics of 3-homogeneous permutation groups, it is proved that: there are no 6–(v, k, 2) designs D admitting a flag transitive group G ≤ Aut (D) of automorphisms.

On Transposed Translation Planes

This paper is devoted to the study of a translation plane π(C) associated with a t-spread set C and its transposed t-spread set C t. In this paper, an explicit matrix form of the inverse of an isomorphism from a translation plane into another translation plane associated with t-spread sets is derived and proved that two translation planes associated with t-spread sets are isomorphic if and only if their corresponding transposed translation planes are isomorphic. Further, it is shown that the transpose of a flag-transitive plane is flag-transitive and derived a necessary and sufficient condition for a translation plane π(C) to be isomorphic to its transposed translation plane.

Block-Transitive 4-(v,k,4) Designs and Ree Groups

This article is a contribution to the study of the automorphism groups of designs. Let be a non-trivial design where for some positive integer , and is block-transitive. If the socle of G is isomorphic to the simple groups of lie type, then G is not flag-transitive.

On 2-(v,k,λ)Designs with Flag-Transitive Automorphism Groups of Product Action Type

In this paper we present two new families of 2-(v,k,λ)designs with a flag-transitive and point-primitive automorphism group of product action type.More sur-prisingly,one of them is still a family of 2-(v,k,λ)designs with a fag-transitive and point-imprimitive automorphism group.

Flag-transitive 2-(v,5,λ)designs with sporadic socle

We state that the flag-transitive automorphism group of a 2-(v,5,λ)design D is primitive of affine type or almost simple type.W e also find that there are up to isomorphism 202-(v,5,λ)designs admitting flag-transitive automorphism groups with socle of a sporadic simple group.

Exceptional groups of Lie type and flag-transitive triplanes

A triplane is a ( v, k, 3)-symmetric design. Let G be a subgroup of the full automorphism group of a triplane D. In this paper we prove that if G is flag-transitive and point-primitive, then the socle of G cannot be a simple exceptional group of Lie type.

Sporadic groups and flag-transitive triplanes

Let D be a triplane, i.e., a 2-(ν, k, 3) symmetric design, and G be a subgroup of the full automorphism group of D. In this paper we prove that if G is flag-transitive point-primitive, then the socle of G cannot be a sporadic simple group.

Affine groups and flag-transitive triplanes

Let D be a nontrivial 2-(v, k, 3) symmetric design (triplane) and let G≤Aut(D) be flag-transitive and point-primitive. In this paper, we prove that if G is an affine group, then G≤AΓL1(q), where q is some power of a prime p and p≥5.

Flag-Transitive 3-(v,k,3)Designs and PSL(2,q)Groups

This article is a contribution to the study of the automorphism groups of 3-(v,k,3)designs.Let S=(P,B)be a non-trivial 3-(q+1,k,3)design.If a two-dimensional projective linear group PSL(2,q)acts flag-transitively on S,then S is a 3-(q+1,4,3)or 3-(q+1,5,3)design.
