contents We study Krylov construction in periodically driven conformal field theories and their lattice realisations via critical fermions. Two types of driving are considered: a square-wave drive and a continuous sinusoidal drive. Using the Arnoldi construction, we examine Arnoldi coefficients and return amplitudes in periodically driven conformal field theories in the heating and non-heating phases. In the heating phase, the Arnoldi coefficients approach unity exponentially; in contrast, in the non-heating phase, they exhibit oscillatory behaviour. For the lattice realisations, we further analyse the Krylov complexity of the correlation matrix, quasi energy level statistics, and the graph structure induced by the Floquet operator. Although the two drives exhibit similar Krylov growth on the CFT side, their lattice realisations exhibit markedly different spectral and graph signatures, indicating distinct mechanisms governing the transition between the heating and non-heating phases.
