SLIDE 2 Coherent configurations
A partition of Ω2, M = R1, . . . , Rr is a coherent configuration if
CC1 ∀i ∈ [1, r]∃i′ ∈ [1, r]R−1
i
= Ri′ CC2 ∃I ′ ⊆ [1, r]
Ri = ∆ CC3 ∀i, j, k ∈ [1, r]∀(x, y) ∈ Rk|{z ∈ X|(x, z) ∈ Ri ∧ (z, y) ∈ Rj}| = pk
ij
If Ri = ∆ then M is called an association scheme. The partition of ∆ defines a partition of Ω.

Previous attempts
Shiratsuchi (1997) and Nagatomo & Junichi (2009) enumerated CCs of order up to 13. “Most of the classification was done by hand, and we also use ‘Mathematica’ partially.”

Non-schurian CCs
The smallest non-Schurian strongly regular graph is Shrikhande graph of order 16.
SLIDE 12
Non-schurian CCs
The smallest non-Schurian strongly regular graph is Shrikhande graph of order 16. The smallest non-Schurian association scheme is a tournament of order 15.
SLIDE 13 Non-schurian CCs
The smallest non-Schurian strongly regular graph is Shrikhande graph of order 16. The smallest non-Schurian association scheme is a tournament of order 15. The smallest known non-Schurian coherent configuration is of
- rder 15 (the same association scheme).
SLIDE 14 Non-schurian CCs
The smallest non-Schurian strongly regular graph is Shrikhande graph of order 16. The smallest non-Schurian association scheme is a tournament of order 15. The smallest known non-Schurian coherent configuration is of
- rder 15 (the same association scheme).
Natural questions arise:
Is there a non-Schurian coherent configuration of smaller
Are there other non-Schurian coherent configurations of order 15?

n:=8;;Sn:=SymmetricGroup(n);; Size(Filtered( List(ConjugacyClassesSubgroups(Sn),Representative), x->x=Intersection( List(Orbits(x,Tuples([1..n],2),OnTuples), y->Stabilizer(Sn,Set(y),OnSetsTuples))) ));

A little bit confident
Size 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 CCs 1 2 4 10 15 38 57 143 Scuhurian 1 2 4 10 15 38 57 143 Size 9 10 11 12 13 CCs 228 492 769 1845 2806 Scuhurian 228 492 769 1845 2806 Each effort got different results. Others provide only “intereseting” data, so it is hard to say if the disagreement is in intereseting or in trivial results.
