Title: Flag-transitive point-primitive non-symmetric 2-(v,k,2) designs

Time and place: 16:00 Friday 27/10/2017 in Woolnough Lecture Theatre 2 GGGL:107

Abstract: A 2-(v,k,&#955;) design is a finite incidence structure D=(P, B) consisting of v points and b blocks such that every block is incident with k points, every point is incident with r blocks, and any two distinct points are incident with exactly &#955; blocks. D is called symmetric if v=b (or equivalently r=k), and non-trivial if 1< k< v. A flag of D is an incident point-block pair (&#945;, B) where &#945; is a point and B is a block. An automorphism of D is a permutation of the points which also permutes the blocks. The set of all automorphisms of D with the composition of maps is a group, denoted by Aut(D). A subgroup G&#8804;Aut( D) is called point-primitive if it acts primitively on P and flag-transitive if it acts transitively on the set of flags of D. In this talk, we will focus on the flag-transitive point-primitive automorphism groups of non-symmetric 2-(v,k,2) designs.
