Generalized Steiner System

1. Definitions and notation. A generalized Steiner system (t-design, tactical configuration) with parameters t, λt, k, v is a system (T, B), where T is a set of v elements, B is a set of blocks each of which is a k-subset of T (but note that blocks bi and bj may be the same k-subset of T) and such that every set of t elements of T belongs to exactly λt of the blocks. If we put λt = u we denote by Su(t, k, v) the collection of all systems with these parameters. Thus Q ∈ Su(t, k, v) means Q = (T, B) is a system with the given parameters. If λt = u = 1, we write S(t, k, v) instead of S1(t, k, v) and refer to the system as a Steiner system. If t = 2, the system is called a balanced incomplete block design.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="IN">In combinatorial mathematics, a Steiner system is a type of block design. Specifically, a Steiner system <em>S</em>(<em>t</em>, <em>k</em>, <em>v</em>) is a set of <em>v</em> points and <em>k</em> blocks which satisfy that every <em>t</em>-subset of <em>v</em>-set of points appear in the unique block.

A Steiner system S(t, k, v) is a pair (P, B) where P is a v-set and B is a collection of k-subsets of P (usually called blocks) such that every t-subset of P is contained in exactly one block of B. As is well known, associated with each point x ∈ P is a S(t � 1, k � 1, v � 1) defined on the set Px = P\{x} with blocksB(x) = {b\{x}|x ∈ b and b ∈ B}.The Steiner system (Px, B(x)) is said to be derived from (P, B) and is called (obviously) a derived Steiner (t – 1, k – 1)-system. Very little is known about derived Steiner systems despite much effort (cf. [11]). It is not even known whether every Steiner triple system is derived.Steiner systems are closely connected to equational classes of algebras (see [7]) for certain values of k.

The one-to-one correspondence has been revealed between a set of cosets of the Mathieu groupM11, a set of blocks of the Steiner systemS(4, 5, 11) and 11-vertex equi-edged triangulated clusters. The revealed correspondence provides the structure interpretation of theS(4, 5, 11) system: mapping of the biplane 2-(11, 5, 2) onto the Steiner systemS(4, 5, 11) determines uniquely the 11-vertex tetrahedral cluster, and the automorphisms of theS(4, 5, 11) system determine uniquely transformations of the said 11-vertex tetrahedral cluster. The said transformations correspond to local reconstructions during polymorphic transformations in metals. The proposed symmetry description of polymorphic transformation in metals is consistent with experimental data.

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. A $q$-analog of a Steiner system (also known as a $q$-Steiner system), denoted ${\mathcal{S}}_{q}(t,\!k,\!n)$, is a set ${\mathcal{S}}$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$ such that each $t$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$ is contained in exactly one element of ${\mathcal{S}}$. Presently, $q$-Steiner systems are known only for $t\,=\,1\!$, and in the trivial cases $t\,=\,k$ and $k\,=\,n$. In this paper, the first nontrivial $q$-Steiner systems with $t\,\geqslant \,2$ are constructed. Specifically, several nonisomorphic $q$-Steiner systems ${\mathcal{S}}_{2}(2,3,13)$ are found by requiring that their automorphism groups contain the normalizer of a Singer subgroup of $\text{GL}(13,2)$. This approach leads to an instance of the exact cover problem, which turns out to have many solutions.

Using Curtis’s MOG [3], we display the orbits and orbit representatives for various subgroups of the Mathieu group acting on the octads of the Steiner system This information is deployed in [8] and [9] to study a graph associated with the largest simple Fischer group.
