A series of finite groups and related symmetric designs

2007

For any odd prime power q = pe we study a certain solvable group G of order q2 · ((q-1)/2)2 · 2 and construct from its internal structure a symmetric design D with parameters (2q2+1, q2, (q2-1)/2) on which G acts as an automorphism group. As a consequence we find that the full automorphism group of D contains a subgroup of order |G| · e2.

On permutations of class sums of alternating groups

1997

We prove a result concerning the class sums of the alternating group An; as a consequence we deduce that if θ is a normalized automorphism of the integral group ring then there exists such that is the identity on , where Sn:is the symmetric group and is the center of

Some Hadamard designs with parameters (71,35,17)

2002

Up to isomorphisms there are precisely eight symmetric designs with parameters (71, 35, 17) admitting a faithful action of a Frobenius group of order 21 in such a way that an element of order 3 fixes precisely 11 points. Five of these designs have 84 and three have 420 as the order of the full automorphism group G. If |G| = 420, then the structure of G is unique and we have G = (Frob21 × Z5):Z4. In this case Z(G) = 〈1〉, G′ has order 35, and G induces an automorphism group of order 6 of Z7. If |G| = 84, then Z(G) is of order 2, and in precisely one case a Sylow 2-subgroup is elementary abelian. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 10: 144–149, 2002; DOI 10.1002/jcd.996

Divisible designs from semifield planes

2002

AbstractWe give a general method to construct divisible designs from semifield planes and we use this technique to construct some divisible designs. In particular, we give the case of twisted field plane as an example.

A Classification of all Symmetric Block Designs of Order Nine with an Automorphism of Order Six

2006

We complete the classification of all symmetric designs of order nine admitting an automorphism of order six. As a matter of fact, the classification for the parameters (35,17,8), (56,11,2), and (91,10,1) had already been done, and in this paper we present the results for the parameters (36,15,6), (40,13,4), and (45,12,3). We also provide information about the order and the structure of the full automorphism groups of the constructed designs. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 14: 301–312, 2006

Symmetric (79, 27, 9)-designs Admitting a Faithful Action of a Frobenius Group of Order 39

1997

AbstractIn this paper we present the classification of symmetric designs with parameters (79, 27, 9) on which a non-abelian group of order 39 acts faithfully. In particular, we show that such a group acts semi-standardly with 7 orbits. Using the method of tactical decompositions, we are able to construct exactly 1320 non-isomorphic designs. The orders of the full automorphism groups of these designs all divide 8 · 3 · 13.

Symplectic automorphisms of prime order on K3 surfaces

2006

The aim of this paper is to study algebraic K3 surfaces (defined over the complex number field) with a symplectic automorphism of prime order. In particular we consider the action of the automorphism on the second cohomology with integer coefficients. We determine the invariant sublattice and its perpendicular complement, and show that the latter coincides with the Coxeter-Todd lattice in the case of automorphism of order three. We also compute many explicit examples, with particular attention to elliptic fibrations.

Some new Hadamard designs with 79 points admitting automorphisms of order 13 and 19

2001

Abstract We have proved that there exists at least 2091 mutually nonisomorphic symmetric (79,39,19)-designs. In particular, 1896 of them admit an action of the nonabelian group of order 57, and an additional 194 an action of the nonabelian group of order 39.

Multiplicative Loops of Quasifields Having Complex Numbers as Kernel

2017

We determine the multiplicative loops of locally compact connected 4-dimensional quasifields Q having the field of complex numbers as their kernel. In particular, we turn our attention to multiplicative loops which have either a normal subloop of dimension one or which contain a subgroup isomorphic to $$Spin_3({\mathbb {R}})$$ . Although the 4-dimensional semifields Q are known, their multiplicative loops have interesting Lie groups generated by left or right translations. We determine explicitly the quasifields Q which coordinatize locally compact translation planes of dimension 8 admitting an at least 16-dimensional Lie group as automorphism group.
