Constructing Highly Incident Configurations

A geometric (q,k)-configuration is a collection of points and straight lines in the Euclidean plane in which each point lies on q lines and each line passes through k points. We say a (q,k)-configuration is highly incident when one (or both) of q or k is strictly greater than 4. In this paper, two simple lemmas are used to construct infinite classes of (2q,2k)-configurations for any q,k≥2; the resulting configurations have non-trivial dihedral symmetry. In particular, this construction produces the only known infinite class of symmetric 6-configurations.
