A note on cocharacter sequence of Jordan upper triangular matrix algebra
2016
Let UJn(F) be the Jordan algebra of n × n upper triangular matrices over a field F of characteristic zero. This paper is devoted to the study of polynomial identities satisfied by UJ2(F) and UJ3(F). In particular, the goal is twofold. On one hand, we complete the description of G-graded polynomial identities of UJ2(F), where G is a finite abelian group. On the other hand, we compute the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the relatively free algebra of UJ2(F) and we give a bound for the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the relatively free algebra of UJ3(F).
POLYNOMIAL GROWTH OF THE*-CODIMENSIONS AND YOUNG DIAGRAMS
2001
Let A be an algebra with involution * over a field F of characteristic zero and Id(A, *) the ideal of the free algebra with involution of *-identities of A. By means of the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group Z 2wrS n we give a characterization of Id(A, *) in case the sequence of its *-codimensions is polynomially bounded. We also exhibit an algebra G 2 with the following distinguished property: the sequence of *-codimensions of Id(G 2, *) is not polynomially bounded but the *-codimensions of any T-ideal U properly containing Id(G 2, *) are polynomially bounded.
A Star-Variety With Almost Polynomial Growth
2000
Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic zero. In this paper we construct a finite dimensional F -algebra with involution M and we study its ∗ -polynomial identities; on one hand we determine a generator of the corresponding T -ideal of the free algebra with involution and on the other we give a complete description of the multilinear ∗ -identities through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group. As an outcome of this study we show that the ∗ -variety generated by M , var( M , ∗ ) has almost polynomial growth, i.e., the sequence of ∗ -codimensions of M cannot be bounded by any polynomial function but any proper ∗ -subvariety of var( M , ∗ ) has polynomial growth. If G 2 is…
On the identities of the Grassmann algebras in characteristicp>0
2001
In this note we exhibit bases of the polynomial identities satisfied by the Grassmann algebras over a field of positive characteristic. This allows us to answer the following question of Kemer: Does the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra with 1, over an infinite fieldK of characteristic 3, satisfy all identities of the algebraM 2(K) of all 2×2 matrices overK? We give a negative answer to this question. Further, we show that certain finite dimensional Grassmann algebras do give a positive answer to Kemer's question. All this allows us to obtain some information about the identities satisfied by the algebraM 2(K) over an infinite fieldK of positive odd characteristic, and to conjecture ba…
Minimal varieties of algebras of exponential growth
2003
Abstract The exponent of a variety of algebras over a field of characteristic zero has been recently proved to be an integer. Through this scale we can now classify all minimal varieties of given exponent and of finite basic rank. As a consequence, we describe the corresponding T-ideals of the free algebra and we compute the asymptotics of the related codimension sequences, verifying in this setting some known conjectures. We also show that the number of these minimal varieties is finite for any given exponent. We finally point out some relations between the exponent of a variety and the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the corresponding relatively free algebras of finite rank.
AUTOMORPHISMS OF THE ENDOMORPHISM SEMIGROUP OF A FREE ASSOCIATIVE ALGEBRA
2007
Let [Formula: see text] be the variety of associative algebras over a field K and A = K 〈x1,…, xn〉 be a free associative algebra in the variety [Formula: see text] freely generated by a set X = {x1,…, xn}, End A the semigroup of endomorphisms of A, and Aut End A the group of automorphisms of the semigroup End A. We prove that the group Aut End A is generated by semi-inner and mirror automorphisms of End A. A similar result is obtained for the automorphism group Aut [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the subcategory of finitely generated free algebras of the variety [Formula: see text]. The later result solves Problem 3.9 formulated in [17].
Quasivarieties of Algebras
2001
This chapter plays a twofold role in the book. Firstly, the chapter surveys basic facts about quasivarieties of algebras. These facts are widely utilised in the subsequent chapters devoted to algebraizable logics. Secondly, the chapter shows how the methods initially elaborated for protoalgebraic sentential logics in the first part can be also applied in the area of equational logic. Most of the results presented in this chapter are proved by way of adapting the purely consequential methods of sentential logic to the needs of the (quasi) equational systems associated with quasivarieties of algebras.

2007
Let W(X) be a free commutative or a free associative algebra. The group of automorphisms of the semigroup End (W(X)) is studied.
