Modular adjacency algebras of Dual polar schemes

Abstract

We can define the adjacency algebra of an association scheme over arbitrary field. It is not always semisimple over a field of positive characteristic. The structures of adjacency algebras over a field of positive characteristic have not been sufficiently studied. In this paper, we consider the structures of adjacency algebras of dual polar schemes over a field of positive characteristic and determine them when their algebras are local algebras.
