Abstract: Let K denote an algebraically closed field and let V denote a vector space over K with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations A:V o V,A*:V o V that satisfy the following conditions:(i)Each of A,A* is diagonalizable;(ii)there exists an ordering {V_i}_{i=0}^d of the eigenspaces of A such that A*V_isubseteq V_{i-1}+V_i+V_{i+1} for 0leq ileq d, where V_{-1}=0 and V_{d+1}=0;(iii)there exists an ordering {V*_i}_{i=0}^delta of the eigenspaces of A* such that A V*_isubseteq V*_{i-1}+V*_i+V*_{i+1} for 0leq ileqdelta, where V*_{-1}=0 and V*_{delta+1}=0;(iv)there does not exist a subspace W of V such that AWsubseteq W,A*Wsubseteq W,W

eq V. We call such a pair a tridiagonal pair on V. It is known that d=delta; to avoid trivialities assume dgeq 1. We assume that A,A* belongs to a family of tridiagonal pairs said to have q-Racah type. This is the most general type of tridiagonal pair. Let {U_i}_{i=0}^d and {U_i^Downarrow}_{i=0}^d denote the first and second split decompositions of V. In an earlier paper we introduced the double lowering operator psi:V o V. One feature of psi is that both psi U_isubseteq U_{i-1} and psi U_i^Downarrowsubseteq U_{i-1}^Downarrow for 0leq ileq d. Define linear transformations K:V o V and B:V o V such that (K-q^{d-2i}I)U_i=0 and (B-q^{d-2i}I)U_i^Downarrow=0 for 0leq ileq d. Our results are summarized as follows. Using psi,K,B we obtain two actions of Uq(sl2) on V. For each of these Uq(sl2)-module structures, the Chevalley generator e acts as a scalar multiple of psi. For each of the Uq(sl2)-module structures, we compute the action of the Casimir element on V. We show that these two actions agree. Using this fact, we express psi as a rational function of K^{pm 1},B^{pm 1} in several ways. Eliminating psi from these equations we find that K,B are related by a quadratic equation.
