    On highly symmetric combinatorial designs (English)
    0 references
    This monograph describes the complete classification of flag-transitive Steiner systems, \(t\)-\((v,k,1)\) designs, with \(t \geq 3\). There are no such designs with \(t \geq 6\), two when \(t=5\), and two when \(t=4\). There are infinite classes of such designs when \(t=3\). In order to support proofs of each of these results, a brief survey presents background on point- and block-transitivity.
