On S-cyclic steiner systems

In this paper we investigate the structure of S-cyclic Steiner quadruple systems and derive a necessary condition on thier existence which might turn out to be sufficient. In the third chapter we prove a necessary condition on the existence of general S-cyclic Steiner systems. It turns out that S-cyclicityis a very restrictive property that hardly any systems with t ≠ 3 can have.
