Imprimitive flag-transitive symmetric designs

چکیده
A recent paper of O’Reilly Regueiro obtained an explicit upper bound on the number of points of a flagtransitive, point-imprimitive, symmetric design in terms of the number of blocks containing two points. We improve that upper bound and give a complete list of feasible parameter sequences for such designs for which two points lie in at most ten blocks. Classifications are available for some of these parameter sequences. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

On primitivity and reduction for flag-transitive symmetric designs
We present some results on flag-transitive symmetric designs. First we see what conditions are necessary for a symmetric design to admit an imprimitive, flag-transitive automorphism group. Then we move on to study the possibilities for a primitive, flag-transitive automorphism group, and prove that for λ ≤ 3, the group must be affine or almost simple, and finally we analyse the case in which a ...
متن کاملFlag-transitive point-primitive $(v,k,4)$ symmetric designs with exceptional socle of Lie type
Let $G$ be an automorphism group of a $2$-$(v,k,4)$ symmetric design $mathcal D$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is flag-transitive point-primitive, then the socle of $G$ cannot be an exceptional group of Lie type.
متن کاملFlag-transitive Point-primitive symmetric designs and three dimensional projective special linear groups
The main aim of this article is to study (v,k,λ)-symmetric designs admitting a flag-transitive and point-primitive automorphism group G whose socle is PSL(3,q). We indeed show that the only possible design satisfying these conditions is a Desarguesian projective plane PG(2,q) and G > PSL(3,q).
متن کاملFlag-transitive non-symmetric 2-designs with (r, λ) = 1 and alternating socle
This paper deals with flag-transitive non-symmetric 2-designs with (r, λ) = 1. We prove that if D is a non-trivial non-symmetric 2-(v, k, λ) design with (r, λ) = 1 and G 6 Aut(D) is flag-transitive with Soc(G) = An for n > 5, then D is a 2-(6, 3, 2) design, the projective space PG(3, 2), or a 2-(10, 6, 5) design.
متن کاملA note on block-transitive point-imprimitive designs
We study block-transitive point-imprimitive designs. Cameron and Praeger showed that in such designs t = 2 or 3. In 2000, Mann and Tuan showed that if t = 3 then v ≤ (k2) + 1. In this paper, we show a finiteness theorem for block-transitive point-imprimitive 3-designs for which this bound is met. We prove that for a given natural number n, there are only finitely many numbers k of the form npα ...
