Description
In this paper, we study the subconstituent algebras, also called as Terwilliger algebras, of association schemes that are obtained as the wreath product of one-class association schemes $K_n=H(1, n)$ for $n\ge 2$. We find that the $d$-class association scheme $K_{n_{1}}\wr K_{n_{2}} \wr ... \wr K_{n_{d}}$ formed by taking the wreath product of $K_{n_{i}}$ has the triple-regularity property. We determine the dimension of the Terwilliger algebra for the association scheme $K_{n_{1}}\wr K_{n_{2}}\wr ... \wr K_ {n_{d}}$. We give a description of the structure of the Terwilliger algebra for the wreath power $(K_n)^{\wr d}$ for $n \geq 2$ by studying its irreducible modules. In particular, we show that the Terwilliger algebra of $(K_n)^{\wr d}$ is isomorphic to $M_{d+1}(\mathbb{C})\oplus M_1(\mathbb{C})^{\oplus \frac12d(d+1)}$ for $n\ge3$, and $M_{d+1}(\mathbb{C})\oplus M_1(\mathbb{C})^{\oplus \frac12d(d-1)}$ for $n=2$.
