The characterization of combinatorial or geometric structures in terms of their groups of automorphisms has attracted considerable interest in the last decades and is now commonly viewed as a natural generalization of Felix Klein's Erlangen program(1872).Inaddition,especiallyfor?nitestructures,importantapplications to practical topics such as design theory, coding theory and cryptography have made the ?eld even more attractive. The subject matter of this research monograph is the study and class- cation of ?ag-transitive Steiner designs, that is, combinatorial t-(v,k,1) designs which admit a group of automorphisms acting transitively on incident point-block pairs. As a consequence of the classi?cation of the ?nite simple groups, it has been possible in recent years to characterize Steiner t-designs, mainly for t=2,adm- ting groups of automorphisms with su?ciently strong symmetry properties. For Steiner 2-designs, arguably the most general results have been the classi?cation of all point 2-transitive Steiner 2-designs in 1985 by W. M. Kantor, and the almost complete determination of all ?ag-transitive Steiner 2-designs announced in 1990 byF.Buekenhout,A.Delandtsheer,J.Doyen,P.B.Kleidman,M.W.Liebeck, and J. Saxl. However, despite the classi?cation of the ?nite simple groups, for Steiner t-designs witht> 2 most of the characterizations of these types have remained long-standing challenging problems. Speci?cally, the determination of all ?- transitive Steiner t-designs with 3? t? 6 has been of particular interest and object of research for more than 40 years.

Pressezitat
This monograph provides an excellent development of the existence and nonexistenceof flag-transitive and other symmetric Steiner t-designs. In particular, it develops acomplete classification of all flag-transitive Steiner t-designs for strength t at least three.The topic is a beautiful mixture of algebra and combinatorics, and it impinges onmany applications areas. Of particular value is the material providing the necessarybackground in group theory, incidence geometry, number theory, and combinatorialdesign theory to support a complete exposition of the many results. These form thefocus of the first three chapters. Chapter 4 then develops results on symmetric actionsof groups on Steiner systems, and provides many helpful examples. Chapter 5 thenstates the main existence result for flag-transitive Steiner systems, and places this inthe context of related existence results for highly symmetric actions. Chapters 6 through10 fill in the details of the existence proof. Steiner quadruple systems are treated inChapter 6, while strength three in general is treated in Chapter 7. Chapters 8 and 9then treat the cases of strengths four and five, respectively. Finally Chapter 10 providesthe proof that no flag-transitive Steiner 6-design exists.The presentation is lucid and accessible. Indeed the author has done a first rate job ofpresenting material that involves many deep ideas and a number of technical issues. Atthe same time, the monograph indicates useful next steps to take in the research topic.Zentralblatt Math - Charles J. Colbourn (Tempe)
