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 ${V_i}_{i=0}^d$ 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 ${V_i^{\ast }}_{i=0}^{d}elta$ 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 $V_i$, $V_{d-i}$, $V_i^{\ast }$, $V_{d-i}^{\ast }$ coincide. We say the pair $A,A^{\ast }$ is {it sharp} whenever $dim{V}_0=1$. It is known that if $F$ is algebraically closed then $A,A^{\ast }$ is sharp. A conjectured classification of the sharp tridiagonal pairs was recently introduced by T. Ito and the second author. We present a result which supports the conjecture. Given scalars ${h_i}_{i=0}^d$, ${h_i^{\ast }}_{i=0}^d$ in $F$ that satisfy the known constraints on the eigenvalues of a tridiagonal pair, we define an $F$-algebra $T$ by generators and relations. We consider the algebra $e_0^{\ast }T{e}_0^{\ast }$ for a certain idempotent $e_0^{\ast }inT$. Let $R$ denote the polynomial algebra over $F$ involving $d$ variables.We display a surjective algebra homomorphism $mu:Ro{e}_0^{\ast }T{e}_0^{\ast }$. We conjecture that $mu$ is an isomorphism. We show that this $mu$-conjecture implies the classification conjecture, and that the $mu$-conjecture holds for $dleq5$.
