Prime-dimension existence conjecture for binary Steiner structures

Let nn be a prime satisfying

n1(mod6),n13.n \equiv 1 \pmod{6},\qquad n\geq 13.

A coset complete 3-dimensional subspace is a 3-dimensional subspace of F2n\mathbb{F}_2^n used as a generator for the construction described in the paper. Prime-dimension existence conjecture. There exists a Steiner structure S2[2,3,n]\mathbb{S}_2[2,3,n] generated by a set of 2n242n\frac{2^n-2}{42n} pairwise disjoint coset complete 3-dimensional subspaces. The constructed example S2[2,3,13]\mathbb{S}_2[2,3,13] provides supporting evidence, but the asserted existence for all indicated primes remains open.
