A Higman inequality for regular near polygons
The inequality of Higman for generalized quadrangles of order (s, t) with s > 1 states that t ≤ s. We will generalize this by proving that the intersection number ci of a regular near 2d-gon of order (s, t) with s > 1 satisfies the tight bound ci ≤ (s − 1)/(s − 1), and we give properties in case of equality. It is known that hemisystems in generalized quadrangles meeting the Higman bound induce...
متن کاملOn Q-polynomial regular near 2d-gons
We discuss thick regular near 2d-gons with a Q-polynomial collinearity graph. For d ≥ 4, we show that apart from Hamming near polygons and dual polar spaces there are no thick Q-polynomial regular near polygons. We also show that no regular near hexagons exist with parameters (s, t2, t) equal to (3, 1, 34), (8, 4, 740), (92, 64, 1314560), (95, 19, 1027064) or (105, 147, 2763012). Such regular n...
متن کاملConditions for singular incidence matrices
Suppose one looks for a square integral matrix N , for which NN has a prescribed form. Then the Hasse-Minkowski invariants and the determinant of NN lead to necessary conditions for existence. The Bruck-Ryser-Chowla theorem gives a famous example of such conditions in case N is the incidence matrix of a square block design. This approach fails when N is singular. In this paper it is shown that ...
متن کاملAn inequality for regular near polygons
Let Γ denote a near polygon distance-regular graph with diameter d ≥ 3, valency k and intersection numbers a1 > 0, c2 > 1. Let θ1 denote the second largest eigenvalue of Γ. We show θ1 ≤ k − a1 − c2 c2 − 1 . We show the following (i)–(iii) are equivalent. (i) Equality is attained above; (ii) Γ is Q-polynomial with respect to θ1; (iii) Γ is a dual polar graph or a Hamming graph.
متن کاملThe Non-Existence of certain Regular Generalized Polygons
We define the notion of d i -regularity and regularity in generalized polygons, thus generalizing the notion of ‘regular point’ in a generalized quadrangle or hexagon. We show that a thick generalized polygon cannot contain too many regular points unless it is a projective plane, quadrangle or hexagon. For certain polygons (thick ‘odd’gons and 8-gons), we show that even a certain number of d2-r...
