“…Since the number of points is , we have , and so we see that the intersection array of G is . Lemma There is no pentagonal geometry of order (6, 10) with distance‐regular diameter 3 deficiency graph. Proof The deficiency graph Γ would have parameters and by a result of Coolsaet and Degraer , the Perkel graph on 57 vertices is the unique distance‐regular graph with these parameters. Note that points on a nonopposite line are at distance at least 3 in G , by Lemma 2.7, so nonopposite lines form cliques of size 3 in the “distance at least 3” graph obtained from G .…”
