Abstract
In this article, we prove that there does not exist a symmetric transversal design ${\rm STD}_2[12;6]$ which admits an automorphism group of order 4 acting semiregularly on the point set and the block set. We use an orbit theorem for symmetric transversal designs to prove our result. As a corollary of the result, we prove that there is no projective plane of order 12 admitting a collineation group of order 8. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 16: 411β430, 2008

In this paper it is shown that given a non-degenerate elliptic quadric in the projective space PG(2n -1, q), q odd, then there does not exist a spread of PG(2n -1, q) such that each element of the spread meets the quadric in a maximal totally singular subspace. An immediate consequence is that the c
All (Hermitian) self-dual [24,12,8] quaternary codes which have a non--trivial automorphism of order 3 are obtained up to equivalence. There exist exactly 205 inequivalent such codes. The codes under consideration are optimal, self-dual, and have the highest possible minimum distance for this length
