Abstract
We consider the orthogonality graph Omega(n) with 2^n vertices corresponding to the 0-1 n-vectors, two vertices adjacent if and only if the Hamming distance between them is n/2. We show that the stability number of Omega(16) is alpha(Omega(16))= 2304, thus proving a conjecture by Galliard. The main tool we employ is a recent semidefinite programming relaxation for minimal distance binary codes due to Schrijver. As well, we give a general condition for Delsarte bound on the (co)cliques in graphs of relations of association schemes to coincide with the ratio bound, and use it to show that for Omega(n) the latter two bounds are equal to 2^n/n.
