In this article, we study the classification of flag-transitive, point-primitive 2-(v, k, 4) symmetric designs. We prove that if the socle of the automorphism group G of a flag-transitive, point-primitive nontrivial 2-(v, k, 4) symmetric design D is an alternating group A n for n β₯ 5, then (v, k) =

In this paper we analyse primitive permutation representations of finite alternating and symmetric groups which have a 2-transitive subconstituent. We show that either the representation belongs to an explicit list of known examples, or the point stabiliser is a known almost-simple 2-transitive grou
Jungnickel and Tonchev conjectured in [4] that if a quasi-symmetric design D is an s-fold quasi-multiple of a symmetric (v,k, A) design with (k, (sl)A) = 1, then D is a multiple. We prove this conjecture under any one of the conditions: s 5 7, k -1 is prime, or the design D is a 3-design. It is show
