Abstract

In this paper, we develop a simple method for computing the stabilizer subgroup of a subgroup of $$D(g)={{\alpha}{\in}\mathbb{F}_q|there\;is\;a\;{\beta}{\in}{\mathbb{F}}^x_q\;such\;that\;{\beta}^n=g(\alpha)}$$ in $PSL_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$, where q is a large odd prime power, n is a positive integer dividing q-1, and $g(x){\in}\mathbb{F}_q[x]$. As an application, we construct new infinite families of 3-designs (cf. Examples 3.4 and 3.5).
