Abstract

We demonstrate that isomorphism of strongly regular graphs may be tested in time $n^{\O{n^{1/3}\log^{2} n}}$. Our approach is to analyze the standard individualization and refinement algorithm in light of Neumaier's claw bound, which implies that low valence strongly regular graphs have a small second-largest eigenvalue, unless they are Steiner or Latin square graphs.
