Group-Like Algebras and Their Representations

Abstract

The concept of “group-like algebras” was defined by the author as a special class of bF algebras. They generalize scheme rings (Bose–Mesner algebras) of noncommutative association schemes. We develop the representation theory for group-like algebras and symmetric bF algebras. We also study group-like algebras of association-scheme type with dimension 2 and 3.
