Abstract: Here we study the automorphism groups of $1$-designs constructed from finite nonabelian simple groups by using two methods presented in Moori (Information Security, Coding Theory and Related Combinatorics, 2011). We obtain some general results for both and improve one of these methods. In an application to the sporadic Mathieu groups $M_n$, we are able to retrieve the Steiner systems $S(t,t+3,n)$ where $(n,t)in(22,3),(23,4),(24,5)$.

Review text

The automorphism groups of designs that are constructed from finite simple groups are studied in this paper. The 1-designs with important applications in coding theory are emphasized. The results generalize and extend those in [\textit{J. Moori}, in: Information security, coding theory and related combinatorics. Information coding and combinatorics. Based on lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute, Opatija, Croatia, May 31 -- June 11, 2010. Amsterdam: IOS Press. 202--230 (2011; Zbl 1366.05015)].
