Terwilliger Algebra of the Hypercube via the action of sl(2,F) on tensor products of F^2.




Abstract: We give a brief introduction to the notion of Terwilliger algebra on a special case of distance regular graph: the hypercube. Then we present the algebra from the point of view of the action of sl(2,F) on tensor products of F^2. The necessary background for the talk is minimal; the audience only needs to have some familiarity with basic notions of graph theory and sl(2,F).
