Doubly transitive lines I: Higman pairs and roux

Abstract: We study lines through the origin of finite-dimensional complex vector spaces that enjoy a doubly transitive automorphism group. In doing so, we make fundamental connections with both discrete geometry and algebraic combinatorics. In particular, we show that doubly transitive lines are necessarily optimal packings in complex projective space, and we introduce a fruitful generalization of abelian distance-regular antipodal covers of the complete graph.

“…Some of the ideas in the paper may have interesting applications elsewhere. For example, there has been a lot of work to develop symmetric arrangements of points in the Grassmannian [62,11,8,65,61,10,35,36,37,45,7,42,38,29,19]. What are the projection and cross Gramian algebras of these arrangements?…”

“…First, it is natural to consider highly symmetric arrangements of points. Such arrangements were extensively studied in [62,11,8,65,61,10] in the context of designs, and later, symmetry was used to facilitate the search for optimal codes [35,36,37,45,7,42,38]. In many cases, the symmetries that underly optimal codes can be abstracted to weaker combinatorial structures that produce additional codes.…”

“…In this section we demonstrate some constructions of ETFs in unitary geometries, focusing especially on those derived from modular difference sets. We have not investigated finite field analogs of other sources of complex ETFs, such as Steiner systems [21], hyperovals [20], graph coverings [10,18,34], the Tremain construction [17], association schemes [12,33], or Gelfand pairs [32]. We leave these topics for future research.…”

“…By virtue of this optimality, ETFs find applications in wireless communication [43], compressed sensing [2], and digital fingerprinting [35]. Motivated by these applications, many ETFs were recently constructed using various mixtures of algebra and combinatorics [43,48,14,18,16,7,27,26,28,29]; see [17] for a survey. Despite this flurry of work, several problems involving ETFs (such as Zauner's conjecture) remain open, and a finite field model was recently proposed to help study these remaining problems [23,24].…”
