We show that taking the set of primitive idempotents of commutative association schemes is a functor from the category of commutative association schemes with surjective morphisms to the category of finite sets with surjective partial…
Association schemes are combinatorial objects that allow us solve problems in several branches of mathematics. They have been used in the study of permutation groups and graphs and also in the design of experiments, coding theory, partition…
Terwilliger algebras are finite-dimensional semisimple algebras that were first introduced by Paul Terwilliger in 1992 in studies of association schemes and distance-regular graphs. The Terwilliger algebras of the conjugacy class…
Delsarte theory, more specifically the study of codes and designs in association schemes, has proved invaluable in studying an increasing assortment of association schemes in recent years. Tools motivated by the study of error-correcting…
In 1992, Terwilliger introduced the notion of the \emph{Terwilliger algebra} in order to study association schemes. The Terwilliger algebra of an association scheme $\mathcal{A}$ is the subalgebra of the complex matrix algebra, generated by…
This paper delves into the Terwilliger algebra associated with the ordered Hamming scheme, which extends from the wreath product of one-class association schemes and was initially introduced by Delsarte as a natural expansion of the Hamming…
Terwilliger algebras are a subalgebra of a matrix algebra that are constructed from association schemes over finite sets. In 2010, Rie Tanaka defined what it means for a Terwilliger algebra to be almost commutative. In that paper she gave…
Leading towards the classification of primitive commutative association schemes as the ultimate goal, Bannai and some of his school have been trying to * identify the major sources of (primitive) commutative association schemes, * collect…

We initiate study of the Terwilliger algebra and related semidefinite programming techniques for the conjugacy scheme of the symmetric group Sym$(n)$. In particular, we compute orbits of ordered pairs on Sym$(n)$ acted upon by conjugation…
In [3], Hanaki defined the Terwilliger algebras of association schemes over a commutative unital ring. In this paper, we call the Terwilliger algebras of association schemes over a field $\mathbb{F}$ the Terwilliger $\mathbb{F}$-algebras of…
One may think of a $d$-class association scheme as a $(d+1)$-dimensional matrix algebra over $\mathbb{R}$ closed under Schur products. In this context, an imprimitive scheme is one which admits a subalgebra of block matrices, also closed…

Association schemes form one of the main objects of algebraic combinatorics, classically defined on finite sets. In this paper we define association schemes on arbitrary, possibly uncountable sets with a measure. We study operator…
An infinite family of association schemes obtained from the general unitary groups acting transitively on the sets of isotropic vectors in the finite unitary spaces are investigated. We compute the parameters and determine the character…

Let $p$ denote a prime number. In this note, we focus on the modular Terwilliger algebras of association schemes defined in [3]. We define the primary module of a modular Terwilliger algebra of an association scheme and determine all its…
Let $X$ be a finite set and let $\mathsf{Mat}_X(\mathbb{C})$ denote the algebra of matrices with rows and columns indexed by $X$ and entries from the complex numbers acting on $\mathbb{C}^X$ with standard basis $\{ \hat{x} \mid x\in X\}$.…
We consider the algebraic combinatorics of the set of injections from a $k$-element set to an $n$-element set. In particular, we give a new combinatorial formula for the spherical functions of the Gelfand pair $(S_k \times S_n,…
Classical finite association schemes lead to a finite-dimensional algebras which are generated by finitely many stochastic matrices. Moreover, there exist associated finite hypergroups. The notion of classical discrete association schemes…
