A development of an algebraic system with N-dimensional ladder-type
operators associated with the discrete Fourier transform is described,
following an analogy with the canonical commutation relations of the continuous
case. It is found that a Hermitian Toeplitz matrix Z_N, which plays the
role of the identity, is sufficient to satisfy the Jacobi identity and, by solving
some compatibility relations, a family of ladder operators with corresponding
Hamiltonians can be constructed. The behaviour of the matrix Z_N for large
N is elaborated. It is shown that this system can be also realized in terms
of the Heun operator W, associated with the discrete Fourier transform, thus
providing deeper insight on the underlying algebraic structure.
