Abstract

By introducing a duality operator in coherent algebras (i.e. adjacency algebras of coherent configurations) we give a new interpretation to Delsarte's duality theory for association schemes. In particular we show that nonnegative matrices and positive semidefinite matrices, (0, 1)-matrices and distance matrices, regular graphs and spherical 2-designs, distance regular graphs and Delsarte matricesare pairs of dual objects. Several “almost dual” properties which are not yet fully understood are also reported.
