It is shown that certain Hahn polynomials and their q-analogues play in combinatorics a similar role as Gegenbauer polynomials in real Euclidean geometry. The concept of harmonic function on a fiber of a regular lattice is introduced; then, Hahn polynomials are associated with harmonic spaces of fixed degrees. An algebraic theory of t-designs is presented in this framework, and a linear programming bound is derived for the cardinality of a design.
