Let q be a prime power with q≡− 1 (mod 4), and let F be the finite field with q elements and
Q the set of nonzero squares in F. Let G= PSL (2, q) be the special linear fractional group on
Ω={∞}∪ F, the projective line over F, and set V={∞}∪(Q▵(Q+ 1)▵(Q− 1)), V= Ω⧹ V, where▵
denotes the symmetric difference. First, we consider the cardinality of intersections of some
translations of Q in F and show [Formula: see text] Next, when 2∉ Q, we determine the
structure of GV= GV, the setwise stabilizer of V or V in G, and show that the design (Ω, VG) is …
