A problelm
Given a finite permutation group G on a set X, the permutation character π of G is the function on G mapping an element g to its number of fixed points in X. This is a character of G, the … Continue reading
Proper Jordan schemes exist!
A new field of research has just been created by Misha Klin, Misha Muzychuk and Sven Reichard: proper Jordan schemes. They answered a question which I posed some time ago (I don’t remember when), about whether such objects exist. I … Continue reading

Terminology: association scheme or coherent configuration?
At the Villanova conference, many of the talks were about association schemes or coherent configurations, or indeed generalisations of these. A certain tension between different uses of these terms was evident. I’d like to set down my own views here. … Continue reading
