LetVdenote a vector space over ℂ with finite positive dimension. By aLeonard tripleonVwe mean an ordered triple of linear operators onVsuch that for each of these operators there exists a basis ofVwith respect to which the matrix representing that operator is diagonal and the matrices representing the other two operators are irreducible tridiagonal.LetDdenote a positive integer and letQDdenote the graph of theD-dimensional hypercube. LetXdenote the vertex set ofQDand letdenote the adjacency matrix ofQD. Fixx∈Xand letdenote the corresponding dual adjacency matrix. LetTdenote the subalgebra ofgenerated byA,A*. We refer toTas theTerwilliger algebra ofQDwith respect tox. The matricesAandA*are related by the fact that 2iA=A*Aε−AεA*and 2iA*=AεA−AAε, where 2iAε=AA*−A*Aandi2=−1.We show that the tripleA,A*,Aεacts on each irreducibleT-module as a Leonard triple. We give a detailed description of these Leonard triples.
