First Multiplier Theorem


Let D be a planar Abelian difference set and t be any divisor of n. Then t is a numerical multiplier of D, where a multiplier is defined as an automorphism alpha of a group G which takes D to a translation g+D of itself for some g in G. If alpha is of the form alpha:x->tx for t in Z relatively prime to the order of G, then alpha is called a numerical multiplier.
