Research Abstract

a. Connection between Algebra and Geometry: The Terwilliger algebra with respect to a base subset of a distance-regular grasph was defined and studied extensively. The use of this algebra enables to investigate modules of Terwilliger algebras of any endpoint much easily and gives a connection between the theory of Delsarte and Terwilliger algebra and its modules.
b. Balanced Conditions: Q-polynomial group association schemes were classified.
c. Weakly Distance-Regular Digraphs: The definition of weakly distance-regular digraphs together with various constructions were given. Partly as a joint work with Kaishun Wang, classifications of the case with degree 2, and regular group cases, which are called thin, were completed. Degree 3 cases and girth 2 cases are inprogress.
d. Type II Matrices: As a joint work with Rie Hosoya, it was shown that if a type II matrix is imprimitive, it can be decomposed as a generalized tensor product of type II matrices of smaller size. The application of this result to a classification of imprimitive spin models is expected.
e. Absolute Bound Conjecture of Distance-Regular Graphs and Related Topics: A classification of distance-regular graphs of order (s, 2) was completed and published. The use of Terwilliger algebra was proved to be useful. In particular, if the graph is 3-thin, geometric girths are bounded by 11.
