Abstract

We determine the distribution of 3−(q + 1,k,λ) designs, with k ϵ {4,5}, among the orbits of k‐element subsets under the action of PSL(2,q), for q ϵ 3 (mod 4), on the projective line. As a consequence, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a uniformly‐PSL(2,q) large set of 3−(q + 1,k,λ) designs, with k ϵ {4,5} and q ≡ 3 (mod 4).
