On $$t$$-fold covers of coherent configurations. (English) Zbl 1393.05141
Summary: We introduce the covering configuration induced by a regular weight defined on a coherent configuration. This construction generalizes the well-known equivalence of regular two-graphs and antipodal double covers of complete graphs. It also recovers, as special cases, the rank 6 association schemes connected with regular 3-graphs, and certain extended Q-bipartite doubles of cometric association schemes. We articulate sufficient conditions on the parameters of a coherent configuration for it to arise as a covering configuration.
