The association scheme on the set of flags of a finite generalized quadrangle
Francesco Colangelo, Giusy Monzillo, Alessandro Siciliano
In this paper, the association scheme defined on the flags of a finite generalized quadrangle is considered. All possible fusions of this scheme are listed, and a full description…
On the -polynomial property of the full bipartite graph of a Hamming graph
Blas Fernández, Roghayeh Maleki, Štefko Miklavič +1
The -polynomial property is an algebraic property of distance-regular graphs, that was introduced by Delsarte in his study of coding theory. Many distance-regular graphs admit t…

Brown et al. provide a representation of a spread of the Tits quadrangle , an oval of , even, in terms of a certain family of …
Eggs in finite projective spaces and unitals in translation planes
Giusy Monzillo, Tim Penttila, Alessandro Siciliano
Inspired by the connection between ovoids and unitals arising from the Buekenhout construction in the André/Bruck-Bose representation of translation planes of dimension at most two…
Reconstructing a generalized quadrangle from the Penttila-Williford class association scheme
Giusy Monzillo, Alessandro Siciliano
Penttila and Williford constructed a class association scheme from a generalized quadrangle with a doubly subtended subquadrangle. We show that an association scheme with appro…
Reconstructing a generalized quadrangle with a hemisystem from a class association scheme
Giusy Monzillo
In 2013, van Dam, Martin and Muzychuk constructed a cometric antipodal class association scheme from a GQ of order , odd, which have a hemisystem. In this pap…
Classification of flocks of the quadratic cone in PG(3,64)
Giusy Monzillo, Tim Penttila, Alessandro Siciliano
Flocks are an important topic in the field of finite geometry, with many relations with other objects of interest. This paper is a contribution to the difficult problem of classify…
Pseudo-ovals of elliptic quadrics as Delsarte designs of association schemes
John Bamberg, Giusy Monzillo, Alessandro Siciliano
A - of a finite projective space over a finite field of odd order is a configuration of equidimensional subspaces that is essentially equivalent to a translation…

Giusy Monzillo, Alessandro Siciliano
In 2011, Penttila and Williford constructed an infinite new family of primitive -polynomial 3-class association schemes, not arising from distance regular graphs, by exploring t…
