Leonard pairs from 24 points of view
Abstract
Let denote a field and let denote a vector space over with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations and that satisfy both conditions below: (i) There exists a basis for with respect to which the matrix representing is diagonal and the matrix representing is irreducible tridiagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for with respect to which the matrix representing is diagonal and the matrix representing is irreducible tridiagonal. We call such a pair a {\it Leonard pair} on . Referring to the above Leonard pair, we investigate 24 bases for on which the action of and takes an attractive form. With respect to each of these bases, the matrices representing and are either diagonal, lower bidiagonal, upper bidiagonal, or tridiagonal.
