Boolean degree 1 functions on some classical association schemes

Abstract

We investigate Boolean degree 1 functions for several classical association schemes, including Johnson graphs, Grassmann graphs, graphs from polar spaces, and bilinear forms graphs, as well as some other domains such as multislices (Young subgroups of the symmetric group). In some settings, Boolean degree 1 functions are also known as \textit{completely regular strength 0 codes of covering radius 1}, \textit{Cameron--Liebler line classes}, and \textit{tight sets}. We classify all Boolean degree 11 functions on the multislice. On the Grassmann scheme Jq(n,k)J_q(n, k) we show that all Boolean degree 11 functions are trivial for n5n \geq 5, k,nk2k, n-k \geq 2 and q{2,3,4,5}q \in \{ 2, 3, 4, 5 \}, and that for general qq, the problem can be reduced to classifying all Boolean degree 11 functions on Jq(n,2)J_q(n, 2). We also consider polar spaces and the bilinear forms graphs, giving evidence that all Boolean degree 11 functions are trivial for appropriate choices of the parameters.
