Abstract

In this article, we study symmetric (v,k,λ)(v, k, \lambda) designs admitting a flag-transitive and point-primitive automorphism group GG whose socle is a projective special unitary group of dimension at most five. We, in particular, determine all such possible parameters (v,k,λ)(v, k, \lambda) and show that there exist eight non-isomorphic of such designs for which λ{3,6,12,16,18}\lambda\in\{3,6,12, 16, 18\} and GG is PSU3(3)PSU_{3}(3), PSU3(3):2PSU_{3}(3):2, PSU4(2)PSU_{4}(2) or PSU4(2):2PSU_{4}(2):2.
