Espatriati, esuli e identità europea: note in margine a un libro di Peter Burke

2020

Taking inspiration from a recent book by Peter Burke, the article examines the contribution provided by exiles and expatriates to the formation of an open and pluralistic cultural identity in Europe. Thanks to the “distanciation” and to the “displacement of concepts”, exiles and expatriates exerted an influential role for the cross-fertilization of European scientific experience.

Central polynomials of graded algebras: Capturing their exponential growth

2022

Let G be a finite abelian group and let A be an associative G-graded algebra over a field of characteristic zero. A central G-polynomial is a polynomial of the free associative G-graded algebra that takes central values for all graded substitutions of homogeneous elements of A. We prove the existence and the integrability of two limits called the central G-exponent and the proper central G-exponent that give a quantitative measure of the growth of the central G-polynomials and the proper central G-polynomials, respectively. Moreover, we compare them with the G-exponent of the algebra.

Superalgebras: Polynomial identities and asymptotics

2022

To any superalgebra A is attached a numerical sequence cnsup(A), n≥1, called the sequence of supercodimensions of A. In characteristic zero its asymptotics are an invariant of the superidentities satisfied by A. It is well-known that for a PI-superalgebra such sequence is exponentially bounded and expsup(A)=limn→∞⁡cnsup(A)n is an integer that can be explicitly computed. Here we introduce a notion of fundamental superalgebra over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if A is such an algebra, then C1ntexpsup(A)n≤cnsup(A)≤C2ntexpsup(A)n, where C1>0,C2,t are constants and t is a half integer that can be explicitly written as a linear function of the dimension of the even part of A an…

On central polynomials and codimension growth

2022

Let A be an associative algebra over a field of characteristic zero. A central polynomial is a polynomial of the free associative algebra that takes central values of A. In this survey, we present some recent results about the exponential growth of the central codimension sequence and the proper central codimension sequence in the setting of algebras with involution and algebras graded by a finite group.

Polynomial codimension growth of graded algebras

2009

We study associative $G$-graded algebras with 1 of polynomial $G$-codimension growth, where $G$ is a finite group. For any fixed $k\geq 1,$ we construct associative $G$-graded algebras of upper triangular matrices whose $G$-codimension sequence is given asymptotically by a polynomial of degree $k$ whose leading coefficient is the largest or smallest possible.

Let F be a eld of characteristic zero and FhXi the free associative algebra on X = fX1;X2; : : : g over F; i.e., the algebra of polynomials in the non-commuting variables Xi 2 X. A set of polynomials in FhXi is called locally linearly dependent if their evaluations at tuples of matrices are always linearly dependent. In [Integral Equations Operator Theory 46 (2003), no. 4, 399{454; MR1997979 (2004f:90102)], J. F. Camino et al., in the setting of free analysis, motivated by systems engineering, proved that a nite locally linearly dependent set of polynomials is linearly dependent. In this paper the authors give an alternative algebraic proof of this result based on the theory of polynomial i…

Classifying the Minimal Varieties of Polynomial Growth

2014

Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a variety of associative algebras generated by an algebra with $1$ over a field of characteristic zero. This paper is devoted to the classification of the varieties $\mathcal{V}$ which are minimal of polynomial growth (i.e., their sequence of codimensions growth like $n^k$ but any proper subvariety grows like $n^t$ with $t 4$, the number of minimal varieties is at least $|F|$, the cardinality of the base field and we give a recipe of how to construct them.

Varieties of algebras of polynomial growth

2008

Let V be a proper variety of associative algebras over a field F of characteristic zero. It is well-known that V can have polynomial or exponential growth and here we present some classification results of varieties of polynomial growth. In particular we classify all subvarieties of the varieties of almost polynomial growth, i.e., the subvarieties of var(G) and var(UT 2), where G is the Grassmann algebra and UT2 is the algebra of 2 x 2 upper triangular matrices.
