Amorphic association schemes with negative Latin square-type graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Applying results from partial difference sets, quadratic forms, and recent results of Brouwer and Van Dam, we construct the first known amorphic association scheme with negative Latin square type graphs and whose underlying set is a nonelementary abelian 2-group. We give a simple proof of a result of Hamilton that generalizes Brouwer’s result. We use multiple distinct quadratic forms to construct amorphic association schemes with a large number of classes.

New negative Latin square type partial difference sets in nonelementary abelian 2-groups and 3-groups
A partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n− 1), n+ r2 − 3r, r2 − r) is called a Latin square type partial difference set, while a partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n+1),−n+r2+3r, r2+r) is called a negative Latin square type partial difference set. Nearly all known constructions of negative Latin square partial difference sets are in elementary abelian groups. In this pape...
متن کاملPartial difference sets and amorphic group schemes from pseudo-quadratic bent functions
We present new abelian partial difference sets and amorphic group schemes of both Latin square type and negative Latin square type in certain abelian p-groups. Our method is to construct what we call pseudo-quadratic bent functions and use them in place of quadratic forms. We also discuss a connection between strongly regular bent functions and amorphic group schemes.
متن کاملPARTIAL DIFFERENCE SETS FROM p-ARY WEAKLY REGULAR BENT FUNCTIONS AND QUADRATIC FORMS
We generalize the construction of affine polar graphs in two different ways to obtain partial difference sets and amorphic association schemes. In the first generalization we replace the quadratic form in the affine polar graph construction by higher degree homogeneous functions that are p-ary weakly regular bent. The second generalization uses a combination of quadratic forms and uniform cyclo...

We generalize the construction of affine polar graphs in two different ways to obtain new partial difference sets and amorphic association schemes. The first generalization uses a combination of quadratic forms and uniform cyclotomy. In the second generalization we replace the quadratic form in the affine polar graph construction by higher degree homogeneous functions that are p-ary weakly regu...
متن کاملSwitching of Edges in Strongly Regular Graphs I: A Family of Partial Difference Sets on 100 Vertices
We present 15 new partial difference sets over 4 non-abelian groups of order 100 and 2 new strongly regular graphs with intransitive automorphism groups. The strongly regular graphs and corresponding partial difference sets have the following parameters: (100,22,0,6), (100,36,14,12), (100,45,20,20), (100,44,18,20). The existence of strongly regular graphs with the latter set of parameters was a...
