On the resolutions of cyclic Steiner triple systems with small parameters

Abstract

The paper presents useful invariants of resolutions of cyclic $STS(v)$ with $v\le 39$, namely of all resolutions of cyclic $STS(15)$, $STS(21)$ and $STS(27)$, of the resolutions with nontrivial automorphisms of cyclic $STS(33)$ and of resolutions with automorphisms of order $13$  of cyclic $STS(39)$.
