All $2$-designs arising from the action of the affine linear group on the field of prime order

For fixed $k \ge 3$, the generic such design is a full orbit with "index" $\lambda = k(k-1)$ and is probably not of much (combinatorial) interest. Short orbits are, of course, very interesting. As a …

A general formula for the number of conjugacy classes of $\mathbb{S}_n \times \mathbb{S}_n$ ...

I discovered this old question in connection with someone else's similar (and current) question: The Simultaneous Conjugacy Problem in the symmetric group $S_N$ If anyone still cares, here is a sligh …

Groups with no small generating set

Is there a classification of groups having the property that any set of $d$ elements (say including the identity) is contained in a proper subgroup? It is appealing to call the maximum such integer ( …
