Abstract
Let denote a field and let denote a vector space over with finite positive dimension. Consider a pair of diagonalizable -linear maps on , each of which acts on an eigenbasis for the other one in an irreducible tridiagonal fashion. Such a pair is called a Leonard pair. We consider the self-dual case in which there exists an automorphism of the endomorphism algebra of that swaps and . Such an automorphism is unique, and called the duality . In the present paper we give a comprehensive description of this duality. In particular, we display an invertible -linear map on such that the map is the duality . We express as a polynomial in and . We describe how acts on flags, decompositions, and 24 bases for .
