On the characterization of geometric distance-regular graphs

Combinatorics 2026-01-16 v1

Abstract

In 2010, Koolen and Bang proposed the following conjecture: For a fixed integer m2m \geq 2, any geometric distance-regular graph with smallest eigenvalue m-m, diameter D3D \geq 3 and c22c_2 \geq 2 is either a Johnson graph, a Grassmann graph, a Hamming graph, a bilinear forms graph, or the number of vertices is bounded above by a function of mm. In this paper, we obtain some partial results towards this conjecture.
