Abstract: Assume that $\mathbb{F}$ is an algebraically closed field with characteristic zero. The Racah algebra $\Re$ is the unital associative $\mathbb{F}$-algebra defined by generators and relations in the following way. The generators are $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ and the relations assert that $[A,B]=[B,C]=[C,A]=2D$ and that each of $[A,D]+AC-BA$, $[B,D]+BA-CB$, $[C,D]+CB-AC$ is central in $\Re$. In this paper we discuss the finite-dimensional irreducible $\Re$-modules in detail and classify them up to isomorphism. To do this, we apply an infinite-dimensional $\Re$-module and its universal property. We additionally give the necessary and sufficient conditions for $A$, $B$, $C$ to be diagonalizable on finite-dimensional irreducible $\Re$-modules.

Keywords: Racah algebra, quadratic algebra, irreducible modules, tridiagonal pairs, universal property.
