Review text

The 2-\((51,6,2)\) designs are studied. A classification of the 2-\((51,6,2)\) designs invariant under the cyclic group of order 51 is presented. The order of the automorphism group of each design is 51. A 2-\((51,6,2)\) design is reducible if there is a partition of its blocks into two 2-\((51,6,1)\) designs. It is shown that none of the designs presented is reducible to 2-\((51,6,1)\) designs. The problem of existence of a 2-\((51,6,1)\) design is still open. Previously, a 2-\((51,6,2)\) design with automorphism group of order 50 was constructed in 1975 by \textit{H. Hanani} [Discrete Math. 11, 255-369 (1975; Zbl 0361.62067)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0918.00043].
