Abstract
Many facts about group theory can be generalized to the context of the theory of association schemes. In particular, association schemes with fewer than 6 elements are all commutative. While there is a nonabelian group with 6 elements which is unique up to isomorphism, there are infinitely many isomorphism classes of non-commutative association schemes with 6 elements. All examples previously known to us are imprimitive, and fall into three classes which are reasonably well understood. In this paper, we construct a fourth class of noncommutative, imprimitive association schemes of rank 6.
