Commutative Association Schemes Whose Symmetrizations Have Two Classes

Abstract

If a symmetric association scheme of class two is realized as the symmetrization of a commutative association scheme, then it either admits a unique symmetrizable fission scheme of class three or four, or admits three fission schemes, two of which are class three and one is of class four. We investigate the classification problem for symmetrizable (commutative) association schemes of two-class symmetric association schemes. In particular, we give a classification of association schemes whose symmetrizations are obtained from completely multipartite strongly regular graphs in the notion of wreath product of two schemes. Also the cyclotomic schemes associated to Paley graphs and their symmetrizable fission schemes are discussed in terms of their character tables.
