Abstract

Let Om+1 denote the Odd graph on a set of cardinality 2m+1, where m is a positive integer. Denote by X its vertex set and by T:=T(x0) its Terwilliger algebra with respect to any fixed vertex x0∈ X. In this paper, we first prove that T coincides with the centralizer algebra of the stabilizer of x0 in the automorphism group of Om+1 by considering the action of this automorphism group on X× X× X. Then we give the decomposition of T for m≥ 3 by using all the homogeneous components of V:=ℂX, each of which is a nonzero subspace of V spanned by the irreducible T-modules that are isomorphic. Finally, we display an orthogonal basis for every homogeneous component of V.
