Abstract
This paper considers flag-transitive 4-(q+1,k,λ) designs with λ≥5 and q+1>k>4. Let the automorphism group of a design D be a simple group G=PSL(2,q). Depend on the fact that the setwise stabilizer GB must be one of twelve kinds of subgroups, up to isomorphism we get the following two results. (i) If 10≥λ≥5, then except (G,Gx,GB,k,λ)=(PSL(2,761),E761⋊C380,S4,24,7) or (PSL(2,512),E512⋊C511,D18,18,8) undecided, D is a 4-(24,8,5), 4-(9,8,5), 4-(8,6,6), 4-(10,9,6), 4-(9,6,10), 4-(9,7,10), 4-(12,11,8) or 4-(14,13,10) design with GB=D8, E8⋊C7, D6, E9⋊C4, PSL(2,2), D14, E11⋊C5 or E13⋊C6 respectively. (ii) If λ>10, GB=A4, S4, A5, PGL(2,q0)(g>1 even) or PSL(2,q0), where q0g=q, then there is no such design.
