More Heffter Spaces via finite fields

Abstract

A (v,k;r)(v,k;r) Heffter space is a resolvable (vr,bk)(v_r,b_k) configuration whose points form a half-set of an abelian group GG and whose blocks are all zero-sum in GG. It was recently proved that there are infinitely many orders vv for which, given any pair (k,r)(k,r) with k3k\geq3 odd, a (v,k;r)(v,k;r) Heffter space exists. This was obtained by imposing a point-regular automorphism group. Here we relax this request by asking for a point-semiregular automorphism group. In this way the above result is extended also to the case kk even.
