Affine transformations of a Leonard pair
Abstract
Let denote a field and let denote a vector space over with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations and that satisfy (i) and (ii) below: (i) There exists a basis for with respect to which the matrix representing is irreducible tridiagonal and the matrix representing is diagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for with respect to which the matrix representing is irreducible tridiagonal and the matrix representing is diagonal. We call such a pair a Leonard pair on . Let , , , denote scalars in with , nonzero, and note that , is a Leonard pair on . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this Leonard pair to be isomorphic to the Leonard pair , . We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for this Leonard pair to be isomorphic to the Leonard pair , .
