Abstract

This paper deals with the strongly regular graph T, having parameters (26, 10, 3, 4) and the largest possible automorphism group of order 120. The group G in its action on the vertex set of T has two orbits of length 20 and 6. Many special features of the graph T and its group G make it a remarkable object in algebraic graph theory. The presentation, arranged in the style of a tutorial, describes the graph T from many viewpoints of mathematics and computer algebra. Special attention is paid to the links of T with such classical structures as the Petersen graph, semi-icosahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, two-graphs on 26 points, Paley graphs, inversive plane and generalized quadrangles of order 5 and others.
