A classification of sharp tridiagonal pairs

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:V→V and A^∗:V→V that satisfy the following conditions: (i) each of A,A^∗ is diagonalizable; (ii) there exists an ordering of the eigenspaces of A such that A^∗V_i⊆V_i-1+V_i+V_i+1 for 0?i?d, where V_-1=0 and V_d+1=0; (iii) there exists an ordering of the eigenspaces of A^∗ such that for 0?i?δ, where and ; (iv) there is no subspace W of V such that AW⊆W, A^∗W⊆W, W≠0, W≠V. We call such a pair a tridiagonal pair on V. It is known that d=δ and for 0?i?d the dimensions of coincide. The pair A,A^∗ is called sharp whenever . It is known that if F is algebraically closed then A,A^∗ is sharp. In this paper we classify up to isomorphism the sharp tridiagonal pairs. As a corollary, we classify up to isomorphism the tridiagonal pairs over an algebraically closed field. We obtain these classifications by proving the μ-conjecture.
