All $2$-designs arising from the action of the affine linear group on the field of prime order
Let $p$ be a prime and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ denote as usual the field of order $p$. Let $AL(p)$ be the affine linear group $\{x\mapsto ax+b \;|\; a\in \mathbb{Z}_p\setminus \{0\}, b\in\mathbb{Z}_p\}$. For a ...

Other than Symmetric groups are there any other 5-transitive groups?
If not, would it be correct to say S(5,8,24) is the most ...
