Nonexistence of Certain Skew-symmetric Amorphous Association Schemes
An association scheme is amorphous if it has as many fusion schemes as
possible. Symmetric amorphous schemes were classified by A. V. Ivanov [A. V.
Ivanov, Amorphous cellular rings II, in Investigations in algebraic theory of
combinatorial objects, pages 39--49. VNIISI, Moscow, Institute for System
Studies, 1985] and commutative amorphous schemes were classified by T. Ito, A.
Munemasa and M. Yamada [T. Ito, A. Munemasa and M. Yamada, Amorphous
association schemes over the Galois rings of characteristic 4, European J.
Combin., 12(1991), 513--526]. A scheme is called skew-symmetric if the diagonal
relation is the only symmetric relation. We prove the nonexistence of
skew-symmetric amorphous schemes with at least 4 classes. We also prove that
non-symmetric amorphous schemes are commutative.Comment: 10 page
