Classification of thin Jordan schemes

Mikhail Muzychuk, Christian Pech, Andrew Woldar

Jordan schemes generalize association schemes in a manner similar to how Jordan algebras generalize associative algebras. It is well known that association schemes of maximum rank are in one-to-one correspondence with groups (so-called thin schemes). In this paper, we classify Jordan schemes of maximum rank-to-order ratio and show that regular Jordan schemes of such type correspond to a special class of Moufang loops known as ring-alternative loops.
