Abstract

It is shown that an association scheme Y=(X, {Ri}0≤i≤d), in which the parameters coincide with those of the scheme Her(d, 2) of Hermitian forms in d-dimensional space over GF(22), is isomorphic to Her(d, 2). A principal role in the proof is played by a theorem by P. Terwilliger on the number of 4-vertex configurations of a given type in (P and Q)-polynomial association schemes. Some partial results are obtained in the case of an arbitrary finite field.
