\(G\)-invariantly resolvable Steiner 2-designs which are 1-rotational over \(G\) (Q1281132)

A \(G\)-invariantly resolvable Steiner 2-design which is 1-rotational over \(G\) is shown to be equivalent to a 1-rotational resolvable difference family over \(G\). A construction of 1-rotational resolvable difference families with odd block size \(k\) is derived, which produces new 1-rotational block designs, in particular for \(k= 9\). Applications of a construction of \textit{M. Jimbo} and \textit{S. A. Vanstone} [Recursive constructions for resolvable and doubly resolvable 1-rotational Steiner 2-designs, Util. Math. 26, 45-61 (1984; Zbl 0558.05009)] to the construction of cyclically resolvable \((v, 4, 1)\)-designs are also presented.
