On quantum adjacency algebras of Doob graphs and their irreducible modules

For fixed integers n ≥ 1 and m ≥ 0, we consider the Doob graph D = D(n, m) which is formed by taking direct product of n copies of Shrikhande graph and m copies of complete graph K4. Fix a vertex x of D and let T = T(x) denote the Terwilliger algebra of D with respect to vertex x. Let A denote the a...

Description
Summary:For fixed integers n ≥ 1 and m ≥ 0, we consider the Doob graph D = D(n, m) which is formed by taking direct product of n copies of Shrikhande graph and m copies of complete graph K4. Fix a vertex x of D and let T = T(x) denote the Terwilliger algebra of D with respect to vertex x. Let A denote the adjacency matrix of D. There exists a decomposition of A into a sum A = L + F + R (1) of elements of T where L, F, and R are the lowering, flat, and raising matrices, re- spectively. We call (1) the quantum decomposition of A. In 2007, Hora and Obataintroduced a semi-simple matrix algebra based on the quantum decomposition of the adjacency matrix. This algebra is generated by the quantum components of the de- composition and is called the quantum adjacency algebra of the graph. Let Q = Q(x)denote the quantum adjacency algebra of D with respect to x. In this paper, we show that there exists an algebra homomorphism U(so4) → Q where U(so4) is the universal enveloping algebra of the special orthogonal Lie algebra so4. We also show that Q is generated by the center and the homomorphic image of U(so4). Keywords.
