Abstract

Bounds are obtained on the number of distinct transversal designs TD$\TD(g,n)$ (having $g$ groups with $n$ points in each group) for certain values of $g$ and $n$. Amongst other results it is proved that, if $2<g\le q+1$ where $q$ is a prime power, then the number of nonisomorphic TD$\TD(g,q^r)$ designs is at least $q^{\alpha rq^{2r}(1-o(1))}$ as $r\to\infty$, where $\alpha=1/q^4$. The bounds obtained give equivalent bounds for the numbers of distinct and nonisomorphic sets of $g-2$ mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order $n$ in the corresponding cases. Applications to other combinatorial designs are also described.
