On the 486-vertex distance-regular graphs of Koolen--Riebeek and Soicher

英文摘要：

This paper considers three imprimitive distance-regular graphs with 486 vertices and diameter 4: the Koolen--Riebeek graph (which is bipartite), the Soicher graph (which is antipodal), and the incidence graph of a symmetric transversal design obtained from the affine geometry $\mathrm{AG}(5,3)$ (which is both). It is shown that each of these is preserved by the same rank-9 action of the group $3^5:(2\times M_{10})$, and the connection is explained using the ternary Golay code.
