Abstract:
We examine a class of large sets of Steiner triple systems of order 15 having an automorphism consisting of two fixed points and a 13-cycle. We exhibit all members of this class: there are 256 nonisomorphic systems. We examined these members for initial configurations which could lead to a large set of Steiner quadruple systems of order 16 and established that no large set exists having three fixed points and a 13-cycle.References
