Two linear transformations each tridiagonal with respect to an eigenbasis of the other; an overview

Two linear transformations each tridiagonal with respect to an eigenbasis of the other; comments on the parameter array

Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ that satisfy conditions (i), (ii) below. (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is irreducible tridiagonal and the matrix representing $A^*$ is diagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is diagonal and the matrix representing $A^*$ is irreducible tridiagonal. We call such a pair a {\it Leonard pair} on $V$. The structure o…

Two linear transformations each tridiagonal with respect to an eigenbasis of the other

Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ that satisfy both conditions below: (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is diagonal, and the matrix representing $A^*$ is irreducible tridiagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A^*$ is diagonal, and the matrix representing $A$ is irreducible tridiagonal. We call such a pair a Leonard pair on $V$. Refining this notion a bit, we in…

Circular Hessenberg pairs and the tridiagonal relations

本文证明了 2022 年李在镐的推测，即循环 Hessenberg 对满足三对角关系，证明方式并非初等，核心在于对循环 Hessenberg 对相关性质的研究及对该推测的论证。

Two linear transformations each tri-diagonal with respect to an eigenbasis of the other; the TD-D canonical form and the LB-UB canonical form

Let $\K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $\K$ with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $B:V\to V$ which satisfy both (i), (ii) below. (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is irreducible tridiagonal and the matrix representing $B$ is diagonal; (ii) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is diagonal and the matrix representing $B$ is irreducible tridiagonal. We call such a pair a Leonard pair on $V$. We introduce two canonical for…

Leonard pairs having zero-diagonal TD-TD form

Fix an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ and an integer $n \geq 1$. Let $\text{Mat}_n(\mathbb{F})$ denote the $\mathbb{F}$-algebra consisting of the $n \times n$ matrices that have all entries in $\mathbb{F}$. We consider a pair of diagonalizable matrices in $\text{Mat}_{n}(\mathbb{F})$, each acting in an irreducible tridiagonal fashion on an eigenbasis for the other one. Such a pair is called a Leonard pair in $\text{Mat}_{n}(\mathbb{F})$. In the present paper, we find all Leonard pairs $A,A^*$ in $\text{Mat}_{n}(\mathbb{F})$ such that each of $A$ and $A^*$ is irreducible tridiagonal wi…
