The Generalized Terwilliger Algebra of the Hypercube

Publication date: 19 January 2023

Abstract: In the year 2000, Eric Egge introduced the generalized Terwilliger algebra

m a t h c a l T

of a distance-regular graph

G a m m a

. For any vertex

x

of

G a m m a,

there is a surjective algebra homomorphism

a t u r a l

from

m a t h c a l T

to the Terwilliger algebra

T (x)

. If

G a m m a

is complete, then

a t u r a l

is an isomorphism. If

G a m m a

is not complete, then

a t u r a l

may or may not be an isomorphism, and in general the details are unknown. We show that if

G a m m a

is a hypercube, then the algebra homomorphism

a t u r a l : m a t h c a l T o T (x)

is an isomorphism for all vertices

x

of

G a m m a

.
