Tautness conjecture for pseudo primitive idempotents
Let be a bipartite distance-regular graph, and let denote its subconstituent algebra. Assume that, up to isomorphism, there exist exactly two irreducible -modules with endpoint , and that both are thin. Choose such that and are the local eigenvalues of these modules. Let and be pseudo primitive idempotents of for and , respectively. Tautness conjecture. The pair is taut, meaning that is a linear combination of at most two pseudo primitive idempotents of . This conjecture predicts a connection between the thin endpoint- modules of the subconstituent algebra and taut pairs of pseudo primitive idempotents; its resolution is not specified in the source.
