Algebras with involution with linear codimension growth
2006
AbstractWe study the ∗-varieties of associative algebras with involution over a field of characteristic zero which are generated by a finite-dimensional algebra. In this setting we give a list of algebras classifying all such ∗-varieties whose sequence of ∗-codimensions is linearly bounded. Moreover, we exhibit a finite list of algebras to be excluded from the ∗-varieties with such property. As a consequence, we find all possible linearly bounded ∗-codimension sequences.
Finite-dimensional non-associative algebras and codimension growth
2011
AbstractLet A be a (non-necessarily associative) finite-dimensional algebra over a field of characteristic zero. A quantitative estimate of the polynomial identities satisfied by A is achieved through the study of the asymptotics of the sequence of codimensions of A. It is well known that for such an algebra this sequence is exponentially bounded.Here we capture the exponential rate of growth of the sequence of codimensions for several classes of algebras including simple algebras with a special non-degenerate form, finite-dimensional Jordan or alternative algebras and many more. In all cases such rate of growth is integer and is explicitly related to the dimension of a subalgebra of A. One…
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.
Identities of *-superalgebras and almost polynomial growth
2015
We study the growth of the codimensions of a *-superalgebra over a field of characteristic zero. We classify the ideals of identities of finite dimensional algebras whose corresponding codimensions are of almost polynomial growth. It turns out that these are the ideals of identities of two algebras with distinct involutions and gradings. Along the way, we also classify the finite dimensional simple *-superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
Polynomial growth of the codimensions: a characterization
2009
Let A A be a not necessarily associative algebra over a field of characteristic zero. Here we characterize the T-ideal of identities of A A in case the corresponding sequence of codimensions is polynomially bounded.
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.
Characterizing varieties of colength ≤4
2009
Let A be an associative algebra over a field F of characteristic zero, and let χ n (A), n = 1,2,…, be the sequence of cocharacters of A. For every n ≥ 1, let l n (A) denote the nth colength of A, counting the number of S n -irreducibles appearing in χ n (A). In this article, we classify the algebras A such that the sequence of colengths l n (A), n = 1,2,…, is bounded by four. Moreover we construct a finite number of algebras A 1,…, A d , such that l n (A) ≤ 4 if and only if A 1,…, A d ∉ var(A).
Varieties of superalgebras of almost polynomial growth
2011
Abstract Let V gr be a variety of superalgebras and let c n gr ( V gr ) , n = 1 , 2 , … , be its sequence of graded codimensions. Such a sequence is polynomially bounded if and only if V gr does not contain a list of five superalgebras consisting of a commutative superalgebra, the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra and the algebra of 2 × 2 upper triangular matrices with trivial and natural Z 2 -gradings. In this paper we completely classify all subvarieties of the varieties generated by these five superalgebras, by giving a complete list of finite dimensional generating superalgebras.
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…
Identity dynamics and social partitions : the case of identity "racial" Blacks in France
2011
Our research work investigates - from a psycho-social point of view - the «racial» identity of the black population in France, notably in their relation with the white population, so as to point up the identity dynamics that exist between the various groups. The theoretical framework is related to social grouping and one of its developments, i.e. the concept of social partitioning. Such conception is based on the existence of several types of inter-category relations (partitioning) that allow apprehending the nature of individuals’ identity positioning within the framework of an inter-group relation and make it dynamic through the notion of co-construction. Our methodology is based mainly o…
