Abstract
The existence of Large sets of Kirkman Triple Systems (LKTS) is an old problem in combinatorics. Known results are very limited, and a lot of them are based on the works of Denniston \cite{MR0349416, MR0369086, MR535159, MR539718}. The only known recursive constructions are an tripling construction by Denniston \cite{MR535159}and a product construction by Lei \cite{MR1931492}, both constructs an LKTS() on the basis of an LKTS(). In this paper, we describe an construction of LKTS from LKTS, where is a prime power of the form . We could construct previous unknown LKTS() by this result, the smallest among them have .
