Standard character condition for table algebras (Q986724): Difference between revisions

Summary: It is well known that the complex adjacency algebra \(A\) of an association scheme has a specific module, namely the `standard module', that contains the regular module of \(A\) as a submodule. The character afforded by the standard module is called the `standard character'. In this paper we first define the concept of standard character for \(C\)-algebras and we say that a \(C\)-algebra has the `standard character condition' if it admits the standard character. Among other results we acquire a necessary and sufficient condition for a table algebra to originate from an association scheme. Finally, we prove that given a \(C\)-algebra admits the standard character and its all degrees are integers if and only if so its dual.
