Abstract

Recently, the authors of the present work (together with M. N. Kolountzakis)\nintroduced a new version of the non-commutative Delsarte scheme and applied it\nto the problem of mutually unbiased bases. Here we use this method to\ninvestigate the existence of a finite projective plane of a given order d. In\nparticular, a short new proof is obtained for the nonexistence of a projective\nplane of order 6. For higher orders like 10 and 12, the method is non decisive\nbut could turn out to give important supplementary informations.\n
