Abstract

We determine the distribution of 3-designs among the orbits of 4- and 5-element subsets under the action of PSL(2, 2n) on the projective line. Thus we give complete information on all Kramer-Mesner matrices for the action of PSL(2, 2n) on 3-sets versus 4- and 5-sets. As a consequence, all 3-designs with block sizes 4 and 5 and automorphism group PSL(2; 2n) can immediately be obtained.
