We give some inequalities for Steiner systems S(t, k, v) which improve the inequality v โฅ (t + l) (kt + l) and Fisher's inequality vt + l โฅ (kt + l)(kt + 2).
Given a Steiner system S(2,k-1;v) with v>~vo(k), there is a 3-design Sa(3, k;v+ t) such that the derived design is 2 copies of the Steiner system for any 2 sufficiently large satisfying the standard arithmetic conditions. This theorem has applications in the construction of Steiner 3-designs.
## An automorphism group of a nontrivial (possibly infinite) Steiner triple system has at least as many block-orbits as point-orbits. The proof is a translation of that in the finite case, with a small twist. For block size 4, the argument fails, and, indeed, the stronger statement (involving blo
