The Terwilliger algebra of an almost-bipartite distance-regular graph and its antipodal 2-cover (Q1567264)

For \({\mathcal G}=({\mathcal X}, {\mathcal R})\) an almost-bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter \({\mathcal D}\) there exist a distance-regular graph \(G=(X,R)\) of diameter \(D=2{\mathcal D}+1\) which is an antipodal \(2\)-cover, and a \(2\)-to-\(1\) surjection \(\pi:X\rightarrow{\mathcal X}\) which preserves adjacency. These two graphs determine each other, up to isomorphism. The author investigates the relationship between the Terwilliger algebras and their module structures of two graphs related in this way. In particular, he shows that \({\mathcal G}\) is thin if and only if \(G\) is thin.
