Neumaier graphs of coherent rank five

Source abstract

We construct an infinite family of Neumaier graphs of coherent rank five, answering the existence question at the smallest possible coherent rank beyond the strongly regular case. For every prime power $q\geqslant7$ with $q\equiv3\pmod4$, set $n=q+1$. Each graph in our construction has precisely five distinct eigenvalues, Neumaier parameters $$\left( n(n-1)(n-3), \frac{n^2(n-3)}2, \frac{n(n^2-n-8)}4; \frac{(n-2)^2}{2}, (n-1)(n-3) \right),$$ and its adjacency matrix lies in the Bose--Mesner algebra of the four-class association scheme of Holzmann, Kharaghani, and Suda. Paley Hadamard matrices and Desarguesian mutually orthogonal Latin squares yield an infinite family whose smallest member has parameters $(280,160,96;18,35)$.
