Given a finite additive abelian group G and an integer k , with 3 k | G | , denote by 𝒟 k ( G ) the simple incidence structure whose point-set is G and whose blocks are the k -subsets C = { c 1 , c 2 , , c k } of G such that c 1 + c 2 + + c k = 0 . It is known (see [Caggegi, A., Di Bartolo, A., Falcone, G.: Boolean 2-designs and the embedding of a 2-design in a group arxiv 0806.3433v2, (2008), 1–8.]) that 𝒟 k ( G ) is a 2-design, if G is an elementary abelian p -group with p a prime divisor of k . From [Caggegi, A., Falcone, G., Pavone, M.: On the additivity of block design submitted.] we know that 𝒟 3 ( G ) is a 2-design if and only if G is an elementary abelian 3-group. It is also known (see [Caggegi, A.: Some additive 2 - ( v , 4 , λ ) designs Boll. Mat. Pura e Appl. 2 (2009), 1–3.]) that G is necessarily an elementary abelian 2-group, if 𝒟 4 ( G ) is a 2-design. Here we shall prove that 𝒟 5 ( G ) is a 2-design if and only if G is an elementary abelian 5-group.
