Abstract

Up to now, all known Steiner 5-designsare on q+1 points where q\equiv 3(mod 4) is a prime power and the design is admitting PSL(2,q)as a group of automorphisms. In this article we present a 5-(36,6,1)design admitting PGL(2,17)\times C_2 as a groupof automorphisms. The design is unique with this automorphismgroup and even for the commutator group PSL(2,17)\timesId_2 of this automorphism group there exists no furtherdesign with these parameters. We present the incidence matrixof t-orbits and block orbits.
