Abstract: 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 $A:VoV$ and $A^{*}:VoV$ that satisfy the following conditions: (i) each of $A,A^{*}$ is diagonalizable; (ii) there exists an ordering $lbrace{V}_{i}brac{e}_{i=0}^d$ of the eigenspaces of $A$ such that $A^{*}{V}_{i}subseteq{V}_{i-1}+V_i+V_{i+1}$ for $0leqileqd$, where $V_{-1}=0$ and $V_{d+1}=0$; (iii) there exists an ordering $lbrace{V}_i^{*}brac{e}_{i=0}^{d}elta$ of the eigenspaces of $A^{*}$ such that $A{V}_i^{*}subseteq{V}_{i-1}^{*}+V_i^{*}+V_{i+1}^{*}$ for $0leqileqdelta$, where $V_{-1}^{*}=0$ and $V_{delta+1}^{*}=0$; (iv) there is no subspace $W$ of $V$ such that $AWsubseteqW$, $A^{*}WsubseteqW$, $Weq0$, $WeqV$. We call such a pair a {it tridiagonal pair} on $V$. It is known that $d=delta$ and for $0leqileqd$ the dimensions of $V_i$, $V_{d-i}$, $V_i^{*}$, $V_{d-i}^{*}$ coincide. We say the pair $A,A^{*}$ is {it sharp} whenever $dim{V}_0=1$. It is known that if $K$ is algebraically closed then $A,A^{*}$ is sharp. A conjectured classification of the sharp tridiagonal pairs was recently introduced by T. Ito and the second author. Shortly afterwards we introduced a conjecture, called the {em $mu$-conjecture}, which implies the classification conjecture. In this paper we show that the $mu$-conjecture holds in a special case called $q$-Racah.
