Flag-transitive automorphism groups of 2-designs with \lambda\geq (r,\lambda)^2 are not product type

Abstract: In this paper we show that a flag-transitive automorphism group

G

of a non-trivial

2

-

(v, k, l a m b d a)

design with

l a m b d a g e q (r, l a m b d a)^{2}

is not of product action type. In conclusion,

G

is a primitive group of affine or almost simple type.
