Suppose the matrices $alpha, beta$ with the given commutating relations:



$$
alpha^2=a I\
beta^2=b I\
alphabeta=c I\
betaalpha=d I
$$



where $a,b,c,d $ are elements of $mathbbR$ and where $I$ is the identity matrix.



How can I find specific examples of $alpha, beta$, or even solve for the general case?

    @minz I am actually fine with $c=d$, but I cannot afford $a=b$. Can we say that $a$ is not necessarily equal to $b$?

    surely. Consider $alpha =I, beta=2I$ then $alpha^2 =I, beta^2=4I, alpha beta= betaalpha =2I $

    @minz, my apologies, what I am looking for is actually a matrice where a, b and c are independent of each other. c and d can be equal this is fine.
