Abstract

In this paper, using a method of construction of $ 1 $-designs which are not necessarily symmetric, introduced by Key and Moori in [5], we determine a number of $ 1 $-designs with interesting parameters from the maximal subgroups and the conjugacy classes of the small Ree groups $ ^2G_2(q) $. The designs we obtain are invariant under the action of the groups $ ^2G_2(q) $.
