Abstract

In the year 2000, Eric Egge introduced the generalized Terwilliger algebra T\mathcal T of a distance-regular graph Γ\Gamma. For any vertex xx of Γ,\Gamma, there is a surjective algebra homomorphism \natural from T\mathcal T to the Terwilliger algebra T(x)T(x). If Γ\Gamma is complete, then \natural is an isomorphism. If Γ\Gamma is not complete, then \natural may or may not be an isomorphism, and in general the details are unknown. We show that if Γ\Gamma is a hypercube, then the algebra homomorphism :TT(x)\natural:\mathcal T \to T(x) is an isomorphism for all vertices xx of Γ\Gamma.
