Let Gamma be a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph with vertex set X, diameter D geq 3 and adjacency matrix A. Fix x in X and let A*=A*(x) be the corresponding dual adjacency matrix. Recall that the Terwilliger algebra T=T(x) is the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph of diameter $d\geq 3$. Fix a vertex $\gamma$ of $\Gamma$ and consider the subgraph induced on the union of the last two subconstituents of $\Gamma$ with respect to $\gamma$. We prove…

In this paper we consider a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ and consider the corresponding subconstituent algebra $T$. The algebra $T$ is the $\mathbb{C}$-algebra generated by the Bose-Mesner algebra $M$ of…

We consider a primitive distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter at least $3$. We use the intersection numbers of $\Gamma$ to find a positive semidefinite matrix $G$ with integer entries. We show that $G$ has determinant zero if and…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, simple and connected graph. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ which is not a leaf and let $T=T(x)$ denote the Terwilliger algebra of $\Gamma$ with respect to $x$. Assume that the unique irreducible $T$-module with…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with classical parameters $(D,b,\alpha,\beta)$ and $b\not=1$, $\alpha=b-1$. The condition on $\alpha$ implies that $\Gamma$ is formally self-dual. For $b=q^2$ we use the adjacency matrix and dual…

We consider a type of distance-regular graph $\Gamma=(X, \mathcal R)$ called a bilinear forms graph. We assume that the diameter $D$ of $\Gamma$ is at least $3$. Fix adjacent vertices $x,y \in X$. In our first main result, we introduce an…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter at least $3$. Terwilliger (1993) implicitly showed that there exists a polynomial, say $T(\lambda)\in \mathbb{C}[\lambda]$, of degree $4$ depending only on the…
