Review text

The authors construct a new geometry on which McL acts flag transitively. The geometry is of rank 6. Stabilizers of objects are \(U_4(3), L_3(4): 2\) and \(2^4 : A_7\). Rank two residues of the geometry are complete graphs, Peterson graphs and generalized digons. The geometry is constructed by using the strongly regular graph with 275 vertices for McL. The authors give all the objects of the geometry and leave it to the reader to check properties. The diagram of the geometry has a symmetry of order 2, so we have a correlation group \(\text{McL}\times Z_2\).
