Abstract

We define the concept of t-design for real hyperbolic space ℍn, as an analogue of the definition of Euclidean t-design. Then, we discuss the similarities between the concept of t-design on ℍn or ℝn, and the concept of relative t-design defined for association schemes by Delsarte: Pairs of vectors in the space of an association scheme (1977).
