Local McLaughlin Graph

The local McLaughlin graph is the slightly unfortunate name given to the graph on 162 vertices and 4536 edges obtained from the McLaughlin graph by vertex deletion of a single vertex and its neighbors. It is therefore a subconstituent of the McLaughlin graph.

It is a strongly regular graph with parameters (162,56,10,24). It is determined by spectrum and has graph spectrum (-16)^(21)2^(140)56^1 (van Dam and Haemers 2003). It has independence number 21 and 324 maximum independent vertex sets (Brouwer).

It is however not the local graph of the McLaughlin graph; in fact the local graph of the McLaughlin graph is the generalized quadrangle GQ(3,9).
