Recently Terwilliger and the present author found a presentation for the three-point $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ loop algebra via generators and relations. To obtain this presentation we defined a Lie algebra $\boxtimes$ by generators and relations and displayed an isomorphism from $\boxtimes$ to the three-point $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ loop algebra. In this paper we classify the finite-dimensional irreducible $\boxtimes$-modules.
Let $K$ denote a field with characteristic 0 and let $T$ denote an indeterminate. We give a presentation for the three-point loop algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2 \otimes K\lbrack T, T^{-1},(T-1)^{-1}\rbrack$ via generators and relations. This presentation displays $S_4$-symmetry. Using this presentation we obtain a decomposition of the above loop algebra into a direct sum of three subalgebras, each of which is isomorphic to the Onsager algebra.
Let (A,B) and (C,D) denote Leonard pairs on V. We say these pairs are adjacent whenever each basis for V which is standard for (A,B) (resp. (C,D)) is split for (C,D) (resp. (A,B)). Our main results are as follows: Theorem 1. There exists at most 3 mutually adjacent Leonard pairs on V provided the dimension of V is at least 2. Theorem 2. Let (A,B), (C,D), and (E,F) denote three mutually adjacent Leonard pairs on V. There for each of these pairs, the eigenvalue sequence and dual eigenvalue sequence are in arithmetic progression. Theorem 3. Let (A,B) denote a Leonard pair on V whose eigenvalue sequence and dual eigenvalue sequence are in arithmetic progression. Then there exist Leonard pairs (C,D) and (E,F) on V such that (A,B), (C,D), and (E,F) are mutually adjacent.
