Abstract

If GG is a finite group then there is an integer MGM_G such that,, for uMGu\ge M_G and u1u\equiv 1 or 33 (mod 6), there is a Steiner triple system UU on uu points for which AutUG. {\rm Aut} U \cong G. \ If VV is a Steiner triple system then there is an integer NVN_V such that,, for uNVu\ge N_V and u1u\equiv 1 or 33 ((mod 6),6), there is a Steiner triple system UU on uu points having VV as an AutU{\rm Aut} U-invariant subsystem such that AutUAutV{\rm Aut} U\cong{\rm Aut} V and AutU{\rm Aut} U induces AutV{\rm Aut} V on VV.
