Abstract:
A \(t\)-\((v,k,\lambda)\) design \(\mathcal{D}= (\mathcal{P},\mathcal{B})\) is an incidence structure consisting of a set \(\mathcal{P}\) of \(v\) points and a set \(\mathcal{B}\) of \(k\)-subsets of \(\mathcal{P}\) called blocks such that, each block in \(\mathcal{B}\) has size \(k\), and each \(t\)-subset of \(\mathcal{P}\) lies in exactly \(\lambda\) blocks from \(\mathcal{B}\).
Those \(t\)-\((v,k,1)\) designs are also called Steiner \(t\)-designs.
An automorphism of the design \(\mathcal{D}\) is a permutation on its point set that also permutes the blocks among themselves.
We say that \(\mathcal{D}\) is \(G\)-block-transitive if \(G\) is a subgroup of the full automorphism group of \(\mathcal{D}\) and acts transitively on the block set.
In this talk, I will discuss some idea on studying block-transitive Steiner \(3\)-designs, and some classification results of such designs.
Joint work with Weijun Liu and Ting Lan.
