Abstract: In the paper we study configurations which can be represented as families of cyclically inscribed $n$-gons. The most regular of them arise from quasi difference sets distinguished in a product of two cyclic groups, but some other more general techniques which define series of inscribed $n$-gons are found and studied. We give conditions which assure the existence of certain automorphisms of the defined configurations. The automorphism groups of configurations arising from quasi difference sets is established.

Keywords: configuration, partial linear space, difference set, quasi difference set, cyclic group, dihedral group

Classification (MSC2000): 51D20, 51E26
