Orthogonal and oriented Fano planes, triangular embeddings of $ K_7, $ and geometrical representations of the Frobenius group $ F_{21} $ by Simone Costa, Marco Pavone

“…Also, we apply once more the representation in terms of two orthogonal Fano planes to give an alternative proof that $ F_{21} $ is the automorphism group of the Kirkman triple system of order $ 15 $ that is usually denoted as #61, thereby confirming again the potential of our Fano-plane approach.Although some of the results in this paper may be (partially) known, we include direct and independent proofs in order to make the paper self-contained and offer a unified view on the subject.…”
