Maximum sets of mutually disjoint 2-chromatic Steiner quadruple systems

This paper concentrates on mutually disjoint 2-chromatic Steiner quadruple systems of order v (briefly by SQS(v)s), meaning that the SQS(v)s are mutually disjoint and they are mutually 2-chromatic having the same two color classes. Following Phelps and Rosa's work, we study maximum sets of mutu...

Zusammenfassung:This paper concentrates on mutually disjoint 2-chromatic Steiner quadruple systems of order v (briefly by SQS(v)s), meaning that the SQS(v)s are mutually disjoint and they are mutually 2-chromatic having the same two color classes. Following Phelps and Rosa's work, we study maximum sets of mutually disjoint 2-chromatic SQS(v)s by applying direct constructions for suitable collections of triple representatives of Vq by utilizing automorphism groups of affine transformations in the finite fields Fq for prime powers q. Our main result presents many new maximum sets of mutually disjoint 2-chromatic SQS(v)s. We also improve the lower bounds on the number of mutually disjoint SQS(v)s as a by-product.
