We describe two similar but independently-coded computations used to construct a complete catalogue of the transitive groups of degree less than $48$, thereby verifying, unifying and extending the catalogues previously available. From this…
Let $G$ be a permutation group, and denote with $\mu(G)$ and $b(G)$ its minimal degree and base size respectively. We show that for every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists a transitive permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ with \[ \mu(G)b(G) \geq…
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…
In this paper, we give a characterization of the class of all circular-arc graphs whose schemes are association. Moreover, all association schemes which are the scheme of a circular-arc graph are characterized, specially it is proved that…
A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group, if any Schur ring over $G$ is the transitivity module of a point stabilizer in a subgroup of $\sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. We complete a classification of abelian $2$-groups by…
An association scheme on triples (AST) is a three-dimensional analogue of a classical association scheme. Similar to how a transitive group action produces a Schurian classical association scheme, a two-transitive group action produces an…
For any finite group $G$, and any positive integer $n$, we construct an association scheme which admits the diagonal group $D_n(G)$ as a group of automorphisms. The rank of the association scheme is the number of partitions of $n$ into at…
In this paper, we determine the dimension of the Terwilliger algebras of non-abelian finite groups admitting an abelian subgroup of index 2 by showing that they are triply transitive. Moreover, we give a complete characterization of the…
An association scheme which is associated to a height t presuperscheme is said to be extensible to height t. Smith (1994, 2007) showed that an association scheme X=(Q,\Gamma) of order d:=|Q| is Schurian iff X is extensible to height (d-2).…
We classify the neighbour-transitive codes in Johnson graphs J(v, k) of minimum distance at least three which admit a neighbour-transitive group of automorphisms that is an almost simple two-transitive group of degree v and does not occur…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Terwilliger algebra of a quasi-thin Schurian association scheme to coincide with: (a) the centralizer algebra of a point stabilizer of its automorphism group, and (b) its subspace $T^0$.…
The notion of pseudocyclic association scheme is generalized to the non-commutative case. It is proved that any pseudocyclic scheme the rank of which is much more than the valency is the scheme of a Frobenius group and is uniquely…
The purpose of this paper is to prove that if $G$ is a transitive permutation group of degree $n\geq 2$, then $G$ can be generated by $\lfloor cn/\sqrt{\log{n}}\rfloor$ elements, where $c:=\sqrt{3}/2$. Owing to the transitive group…
Recent classification of $\frac{3}{2}$-transitive permutation groups leaves us with three infinite families of groups which are neither $2$-transitive, nor Frobenius, nor one-dimensional affine. The groups of the first two families…
Let $T$ be a locally finite tree all of whose vertices have valency at least $6$. We classify, up to isomorphism, the closed subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ acting $2$-transitively on the set of ends of $T$ and whose local action at each…
B. Xu characterized rank $4$ self-dual association schemes inducing three partial geometric designs by their character tables. We construct such association schemes as Schur rings over abelian $2$-groups.
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…
In this article, we investigate the existence and schurity problem of association schemes whose thin residues are isomorphic to an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $2$.
The primary purpose of this paper is to report on the successful enumeration in Magma of representatives of the $195\,826\,352$ conjugacy classes of transitive subgroups of the symmetric group $S_{48}$ of degree 48. In addition, we have…
A finite transitive permutation group is said to be 3/2-transitive if all the nontrivial orbits of a point stabilizer have the same size greater than 1. Examples include the 2-transitive groups, Frobenius groups and several other less…
