Steinberg triality groups acting on 2 - (v, k, 1) designs

A 2 - (v,k,1) design D = (P, B) is a system consisting of a finite set P of v points and a collection B of k-subsets of P, called blocks, such that each 2-subset of P is contained in precisely one block. Let G be an automorphism group of a 2- (v,k,1) design. Delandtsheer proved that if G is block-primitive and D is not a projective plane, then G is almost simple, that is, T ≤ G ≤ Aut(T), where T is a non-abelian simple group. In this paper, we prove that T is not isomorphic to 3D4(q). This paper is part of a project to classify groups and designs where the group acts primitively on the blocks of the design.     

Cycle structures of automorphisms of 2-(v,k,1) designs

An automorphism of a 2?(v,k, 1) design acts as a permutation of the points and as another of the blocks. We show that the permutation of the blocks has at least as many cycles, of lengths n > k, as the permutation of the points. Looking at Steiner triple systems we show that this holds for all n unless n|Cp(n)| ? 3, where Cp(n) is the set of cycles of length n of the automorphism in its action on the points. Examples of Steiner triple systems for each of these exceptions are given. Considering designs with infinitely many points, but with k finite, we show that these results generalize. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

SUZUKI GROUPS Sz（q） AND 2-（v,k, 1） BLOCK DESIGNS

It is proved that if D be a 2-(v,k,1) design with G≤Aut D block primitive then G does not have a Suzuki group Sz(q) as the socle.

Existence of (2, 8) GWhD( v) and (4, 8) GWhD( v) with $${ v \equi v 0,1 (mod 8)}$$

(2, 8) Generalized Whist tournament Designs (GWhD) on v players exist only if . We establish that these necessary conditions are sufficient for all but a relatively small number of (possibly) exceptional cases. For there are at most 12 possible exceptions: {177, 249, 305, 377, 385, 465, 473, 489, 497, 537, 553, 897}. For there are at most 98 possible exceptions the largest of which is v = 3696. The materials in this paper also enable us to obtain four previously unknown (4, 8)GWhD(8n+1), namely for n = 16,60,191,192 and to reduce the list of unknown (4, 8) GWhD(8n) to 124 values of v the largest of which is v = 3696.      

The extension of the $$D(-k)$$ D ( - k ) -pair $$\{k,k+1\}$$ { k,k + 1 } to a quadruple

Periodica Mathematica Hungarica - Let $$n\ne 0$$ be an integer. A set of m distinct positive integers $$\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_m\}$$ is called a D(n)-m-tuple if $$a_ia_j + n$$ is a perfect square for...     

(v,k, λ)-Graphs and polarities of (v,k, λ)-designs

In 2.1 it is established that there is a one-to-one correspondence between (v, k, )-graphs and polarities, with no absolute points, of (v, k, )-designs. This is used to show that the parameters of a (v, k, )-graph are of the form ((s/a)((s + a)²–1), s(s+a), sa) where s and a are positive integers with a dividing s(s²–1) (Theorem 3.4) but strictly less than s(s²–1) (Proposition 4.3). Some consequences of this parametrization are discussed and in particular, it is shown that for fixed 2 there are only finitely many non-isomorphic (v, k, )-graphs. In 4. it is shown that (v, k, )-graphs can also be constructed using polarities, with all points absolute, of certain designs. In 5. isomorphisms and automorphisms of graphs and designs are discussed. Many examples of (v, k, )-graphs, including some apparently new ones, are given.Dedicated to Peter Dembowski, 28 January 1971     

Submanifolds of generalized $$(k,\mu )$$-space-forms

In this paper, we have studied submanifolds especially, totally umbilical submanifolds of generalized \((k,\mu )\)-space-forms. We have found a necessary and sufficient condition for such submanifolds to be either invariant or anti-invariant. It is also shown that every totally umbilical submanifold of a generalized \((k,\mu )\)-space-form is a pseudo quasi-Einstein manifold.

On the maximum number of fixed points in automorphisms of prime order of 2-(v,k,1) designs

In this paper, we study 2-(v, k, 1) designs with automorphisms of prime orderp, having the maximum possible number of fixed points. We prove an upper bound on the number of fixed points, and we study the structure of designs in which this bound is met with equality (such a design is called ap-MFP(v, k)). Several characterizations and asymptotic existence results forp-MFP(v, k) are obtained. For (p, k)=(3,3), (5,5), (2,3) and (3,4), necessary and sufficient conditions onv are obtained for the existence of ap-MFP(v, k). Further, for 3≤k≤5 and for any primep≡1 modk(k−1), we establish necessary and sufficient conditions onv for the existence of ap-MFP(v, k).
