Abstract
Let \({\mathcal {D}}\) be a non-trivial G-block-transitive 3-(v, k, 1) design, where \(T\le G \le \textrm{Aut}(T)\) for some finite non-abelian simple group T. It is proved that if T is a simple exceptional group of Lie type, then T is either the Suzuki group \({}^2B_2(q)\) or \(G_2(q)\). Furthermore, if \(T={}^2B_2(q)\) then the design \({\mathcal {D}}\) has parameters \(v=q^2+1\) and \(k=q+1\), and so \({\mathcal {D}}\) is an inverse plane of order q, and if \(T=G_2(q)\) then the point stabilizer in T is either \(\textrm{SL}_3(q).2\) or \(\textrm{SU}_3(q).2\), and the parameter k satisfies very restricted conditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics provides a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics which, at present, are distributed throughout a number of journals. Within the last decade or so, algebraic combinatorics has evolved into a mature, established and identifiable area of mathematics. Research contributions in the field are increasingly seen to have substantial links with other areas of mathematics.
The journal publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems.
