PerkelGraph

The Perkel graph is a weakly regular graph on 57 vertices and 171 edges, shown above in several embeddings. It is the unique distance-regular graph with intersection array {6,5,2;1,1,3} (Coolsaet and Degraer 2005, Brouwer). The Perkel graph is also distance-transitive.

It is also the skeleton of the 57-cell.

It has graph spectrum (-3)^(20)(1/2(3-sqrt(5)))^(18)(1/2(3+sqrt(5)))^(18)6^1.

It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData["PerkelGraph"].
