Let D be a 2-(v,k,1) design admitting a block-transitive, pointprimitive but not flag-transitive automorphism group G. Let kr = (k,v-1) and q = pf for prime p. In this paper we prove that if G and D are as above and q (3(krk-kr + 1)f)1/3, then G does not admit a simple group E6(q) as its socle.展开更多
In recent years, there has been a great deal of research concerning the flag- transitive t-designs, however, few about the block-transitive t-designs with t large (t 〉 4).

In 1993, Cameron and Praeger conjectured that there are no non-trivial block-transitive 6-designs. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture is true when k ≤ 10000 and G ≤ Aut(D) is almost simple.展开更多
