On algebras of polynomial codimension growth

2016

Let A be an associative algebra over a field F of characteristic zero and let $$c_n(A), n=1, 2, \ldots $$ , be the sequence of codimensions of A. It is well-known that $$c_n(A), n=1, 2, \ldots $$ , cannot have intermediate growth, i.e., either is polynomially bounded or grows exponentially. Here we present some results on algebras whose sequence of codimensions is polynomially bounded.

Star-polynomial identities: computing the exponential growth of the codimensions

2017

Abstract Can one compute the exponential rate of growth of the ⁎-codimensions of a PI-algebra with involution ⁎ over a field of characteristic zero? It was shown in [2] that any such algebra A has the same ⁎-identities as the Grassmann envelope of a finite dimensional superalgebra with superinvolution B. Here, by exploiting this result we are able to provide an exact estimate of the exponential rate of growth e x p ⁎ ( A ) of any PI-algebra A with involution. It turns out that e x p ⁎ ( A ) is an integer and, in case the base field is algebraically closed, it coincides with the dimension of an admissible subalgebra of maximal dimension of B.

Matrix algebras of polynomial codimension growth

2007

We study associative algebras with unity of polynomial codimension growth. For any fixed degree $k$ we construct associative algebras whose codimension sequence has the largest and the smallest possible polynomial growth of degree $k$. We also explicitly describe the identities and the exponential generating functions of these algebras.

An almost nilpotent variety of exponent 2

2013

We construct a non-associative algebra A over a field of characteristic zero with the following properties: if V is the variety generated by A, then V has exponential growth but any proper subvariety of V is nilpotent. Moreover, by studying the asymptotics of the sequence of codimensions of A we deduce that exp(V) = 2.

On almost nilpotent varieties of subexponential growth

2015

Abstract Let N 2 be the variety of left-nilpotent algebras of index two, that is the variety of algebras satisfying the identity x ( y z ) ≡ 0 . We introduce two new varieties, denoted by V sym and V alt , contained in the variety N 2 and we prove that V sym and V alt are the only two varieties almost nilpotent of subexponential growth.

Proper identities, Lie identities and exponential codimension growth

2008

Abstract The exponent exp ( A ) of a PI-algebra A in characteristic zero is an integer and measures the exponential rate of growth of the sequence of codimensions of A [A. Giambruno, M. Zaicev, On codimension growth of finitely generated associative algebras, Adv. Math. 140 (1998) 145–155; A. Giambruno, M. Zaicev, Exponential codimension growth of P.I. algebras: An exact estimate, Adv. Math. 142 (1999) 221–243]. In this paper we study the exponential rate of growth of the sequences of proper codimensions and Lie codimensions of an associative PI-algebra. We prove that the corresponding proper exponent exists for all PI-algebras, except for some algebras of exponent two strictly related to t…

Classifying G-graded algebras of exponent two

2019

Let F be a field of characteristic zero and let $$\mathcal{V}$$ be a variety of associative F-algebras graded by a finite abelian group G. If $$\mathcal{V}$$ satisfies an ordinary non-trivial identity, then the sequence $$c_n^G(\mathcal{V})$$ of G-codimensions is exponentially bounded. In [2, 3, 8], the authors captured such exponential growth by proving that the limit $$^G(\mathcal{V}) = {\rm{lim}}_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n]{{c_n^G(\mathcal{V})}}$$ exists and it is an integer, called the G-exponent of $$\mathcal{V}$$ . The purpose of this paper is to characterize the varieties of G-graded algebras of exponent greater than 2. As a consequence, we find a characterization for the varieties with …

Differential Identities and Varieties of Almost Polynomial Growth

2022

Let V be an L-variety of associative L-algebras, i.e., algebras where a Lie algebra L acts on them by derivations, and let c(n)(L) (V), n >= 1, be its Lcodimension sequence. If V is generated by a finite-dimensional L-algebra, then such a sequence is polynomially bounded only if V does not contain UT2, the 2 x 2 upper triangular matrix algebra with trivial L-action, and UT2 epsilon where L acts on UT2 as the 1-dimensional Lie algebra spanned by the inner derivation epsilon induced by e11. In this paper we completely classify all the L-subvarieties of var(L)(UT2) and var(L)(UT2 epsilon) by giving a complete list of finite-dimensional L-algebras generating them.

Codimensions of algebras and growth functions

2008

Abstract Let A be an algebra over a field F of characteristic zero and let c n ( A ) , n = 1 , 2 , … , be its sequence of codimensions. We prove that if c n ( A ) is exponentially bounded, its exponential growth can be any real number >1. This is achieved by constructing, for any real number α > 1 , an F-algebra A α such that lim n → ∞ c n ( A α ) n exists and equals α. The methods are based on the representation theory of the symmetric group and on properties of infinite Sturmian and periodic words.
