Geometries of the group \(\text{PSL}(2, 11)\) (Q1591222)

The authors list all geometries with a flag transitive automorphism group isomorphic to\break \(\text{PSL}(2,11)\) or to \(\text{PGL}(2,11)\), and such that in each residue, the stabilizer of some element is a maximal subgroup of the stabilizer (modulo the kernel) of that residue (this is equivalent to being ``residually weakly primitive''). An interesting (``sporadic'') fact is that \(\text{PSL}(2,11)\) has a 2-transitive action on 12 points (the standard action as a linear group), but also on 11 points (a sporadic action emerging from the inclusion \(\text{ALT}(5)\leq\text{PSL}(2,11))\). This gives rise to an exceptional list of geometries. In the paper under review, the authors explicitly construct all geometries, mainly using the two doubly transitive actions mentioned above, and they list the diagrams. The proof that the list is complete relies on a computer search. If you do not get excited about the actual list of geometries, then you might appreciate the numerous beautiful geometric and group theoretic properties and connections of \(\text{PSL}(2,11)\) that the authors provide.
