Abstract: Let $F$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $F$ with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations $A:VoV$ and $A^{\ast }:VoV$ that satisfy the following conditions: (i) each of $A,A^{\ast }$ is diagonalizable; (ii) there exists an ordering $lbrace{V}_{i}brac{e}_{i=0}^d$ of the eigenspaces of $A$ such that $A^{\ast }{V}_{i}subseteq{V}_{i-1}+V_i+V_{i+1}$ for $0leqileqd$, where $V_{-1}=0$ and $V_{d+1}=0$; (iii) there exists an ordering $lbrace{V}_i^{\ast }brac{e}_{i=0}^{d}elta$ of the eigenspaces of $A^{\ast }$ such that $A{V}_i^{\ast }subseteq{V}_{i-1}^{\ast }+V_i^{\ast }+V_{i+1}^{\ast }$ for $0leqileqdelta$, where $V_{-1}^{\ast }=0$ and $V_{delta+1}^{\ast }=0$; (iv) there is no subspace $W$ of $V$ such that $AWsubseteqW$, $A^{\ast }WsubseteqW$, $Weq0$, $WeqV$. We call such a pair a {it tridiagonal pair} on $V$. It is known that $d=delta$, and for $0leqileqd$ the dimensions of $V_i,V_i^{\ast },V_{d-i},V_{d-i}^{\ast }$ coincide. Denote this common dimension by $h{o}_i$ and call $A,A^{\ast }$ {it sharp} whenever $h{o}_0=1$. Let $T$ denote the $F$-subalgebra of ${mEnd}_F(V)$ generated by $A,A^{\ast }$. We show: (i) the center $Z(T)$ is a field whose dimension over $F$ is $h{o}_0$; (ii) the field $Z(T)$ is isomorphic to each of $E_{0}T{E}_0$, $E_{d}T{E}_d$, $E_0^{\ast }T{E}_0^{\ast }$, $E_d^{\ast }T{E}_d^{\ast }$, where $E_i$ (resp. $E_i^{\ast }$) is the primitive idempotent of $A$ (resp. $A^{\ast }$) associated with $V_i$ (resp. $V_i^{\ast }$); (iii) with respect to the $Z(T)$-vector space $V$ the pair $A,A^{\ast }$ is a sharp tridiagonal pair.
