On the Brauer-Wielandt-Harada theorem for group-like regular association schemes

Abstract

We consider a generalization of the Brauer-Wielandt-Harada Theorem to group-like regular association schemes. As an application, we give a necessary condition for commutative association schemes to be regular. Moreover, we derive the number of irreducible characters of multiplicity 1 from the product of all adjacency matrices and all valencies for a commutative regular association scheme.
