摘要
In this article, we determine all pairs (D, G), where D is a 2-design with gcd(r,.) = 1 and G is a flag-transitive almost simple automorphism group of D whose socle is PSU(n, q) with (n, q) = (3, 2). We prove that such a design belongs to one of the two infinite families of Hermitian unitals and Witt-Bose-Shrikhande spaces, or it is isomorphic to a design with parameters (6, 3, 2), (7, 3, 1), (8, 4, 3), (10, 6, 5), (11, 5, 2) or (28, 7, 2). In particular, if D is symmetric, then it is either the Fano plane with parameters (7, 3, 1), or the unique Hadamard design with parameters (11, 5, 2).
