A Steiner 2-design with an Automorphism Fixing Exactly R + 2 Points
نویسنده
چکیده
Doyen conjectured that there is no Steiner 2-design having an automorphism with more than r + 1 but fewer than r + p r ? 1 xed points, where r is the replication number. The falsity of this conjecture is shown by describing 2-(45,5,1) designs having an automorphism of order 2 with exactly 13 xed points.

Steiner Triple Systems of Order 19 with Nontrivial Automorphism Group
There are 172,248 Steiner triple systems of order 19 having a nontrivial automorphism group. Computational methods suitable for generating these designs are developed. The use of tactical configurations in conjunction with orderly algorithms underlies practical techniques for the generation of the designs, and the subexponential time isomorphism technique for triple systems is improved in pract...
متن کاملA Steiner 5-Design on 36 Points
All known Steiner 5-designs previously had an order q + 1 where q 3 (mod 4) is a prime power and PSL(2; q) was admitted as a group of automorphisms of such a design. In this paper we present a 5-(36; 6; 1) design admitting PGL(2; 17) C 2 as a group of automorphisms. The design is unique with this automorphism group and even for the commutator group PSL(2; 17) id 2 of this automorphism group the...
متن کاملAutomorphism Group of a Possible 2-(121, 16, 2) Symmetric Design
Let D be a symmetric 2-(121, 16, 2) design with the automorphism group of Aut(D). In this paper the order of automorphism of prime order of Aut(D) is studied, and some results are obtained about the number of fixed points of these automorphisms. Also we will show that |Aut(D)|=2p 3q 5r 7s 11t 13u, where p, q, r, s, t and u are non-negative integers such that r, s, t, u ? 1. In addition we prese...
متن کاملOn the Existence of q-Analogs of Steiner Systems
A q-analog of a Steiner system (briefly, q-Steiner system), denoted by S = Sq[t, k, n], is a set of k-dimensional subspaces of F n q such that each t-dimensional subspace of Fq is contained in exactly one element of S. Presently, q-Steiner systems are known only for t = 1 and in the trivial cases t = k and k = n. In this paper, the first known nontrivial q-Steiner systems with t ≥ 2 are constru...
متن کاملThe Steiner systems S(2, 4, 25) with nontrivial automorphism group
There are exactly 16 non-isomorphic Steiner systems S(2,4, 25) with nontrivial automorphism group. It is interesting to note that each of these designs has an automorphism of order 3. These 16 designs are presented along with their groups and other invariants. In particular, we determine and tabulate substructures for each of the sixteen designs inciuding Fano subplanes, ovals, complete 5-arcs,...
