Polynomial identities for the Jordan algebra of a degenerate symmetric bilinear form
2013
Let J(n) be the Jordan algebra of a degenerate symmetric bilinear form. In the first section we classify all possible G-gradings on J(n) where G is any group, while in the second part we restrict our attention to a degenerate symmetric bilinear form of rank n - 1, where n is the dimension of the vector space V defining J(n). We prove that in this case the algebra J(n) is PI-equivalent to the Jordan algebra of a nondegenerate bilinear form.
Some characterizations of algebras with involution with polynomial growth of their codimensions
2018
Let A be an associative algebra endowed with an involution ∗ of the first kind and let c ∗n (A) denote the sequence of ∗-codimensions of A. In this paper, we are interested in algebras with involution such that the ∗-codimension sequence is polynomially bounded. We shall prove that A is of this kind if and only if it satisfies the same identities of a finite direct sum of finite dimensional algebras with involution A i , each of which with Jacobson radical of codimension less than or equal to one in A i . We shall also relate the condition of having polynomial codimension growth with the sequence of cocharacters and with the sequence of colengths. Along the way, we shall show that the multi…
Kemer, A; Averyanov, I. Some problems in PI-theory (Advances in algebra and combinatorics).
2008
This paper is devoted to a review of some of the most significant results obtained in the theory of polynomial identities and trace polynomial identities. Some of the most important problems in this area concern the relation between identities in characteristic 0 and p>0 and the classification of prime varieties. Here the authors present their achievements on the subject and makes some conjectures. Among others they give results on the classification of the multilinear identities of the prime subvarieties of the variety generated by the algebra of 2X2 matrices over a field of positive characteristic.
Matrix algebras with degenerate traces and trace identities
2022
In this paper we study matrix algebras with a degenerate trace in the framework of the theory of polynomial identities. The first part is devoted to the study of the algebra $D_n$ of $n \times n$ diagonal matrices. We prove that, in case of a degenerate trace, all its trace identities follow by the commutativity law and by pure trace identities. Moreover we relate the trace identities of $D_{n+1}$ endowed with a degenerate trace, to those of $D_n$ with the corresponding trace. This allows us to determine the generators of the trace T-ideal of $D_3$. In the second part we study commutative subalgebras of $M_k(F)$, denoted by $C_k$ of the type $F + J$ that can be endowed with the so-called st…
Trace identities and almost polynomial growth
2021
In this paper we study algebras with trace and their trace polynomial identities over a field of characteristic 0. We consider two commutative matrix algebras: $D_2$, the algebra of $2\times 2$ diagonal matrices and $C_2$, the algebra of $2 \times 2$ matrices generated by $e_{11}+e_{22}$ and $e_{12}$. We describe all possible traces on these algebras and we study the corresponding trace codimensions. Moreover we characterize the varieties with trace of polynomial growth generated by a finite dimensional algebra. As a consequence, we see that the growth of a variety with trace is either polynomial or exponential.
Polynomial identities for the Jordan algebra of upper triangular matrices of order 2
2012
Abstract The associative algebras U T n ( K ) of the upper triangular matrices of order n play an important role in PI theory. Recently it was suggested that the Jordan algebra U J 2 ( K ) obtained by U T 2 ( K ) has an extremal behaviour with respect to its codimension growth. In this paper we study the polynomial identities of U J 2 ( K ) . We describe a basis of the identities of U J 2 ( K ) when the field K is infinite and of characteristic different from 2 and from 3. Moreover we give a description of all possible gradings on U J 2 ( K ) by the cyclic group Z 2 of order 2, and in each of the three gradings we find bases of the corresponding graded identities. Note that in the graded ca…
Trace Identities on Diagonal Matrix Algebras
2020
Let Dn be the algebra of n × n diagonal matrices. On such an algebra it is possible to define very many trace functions. The purpose of this paper is to present several results concerning trace identities satisfied by this kind of algebras.
Trace Codimensions of Algebras and Their Exponential Growth
2022
The trace codimensions give a quantitative description of the identities satisfied by an algebra with trace. Here we study the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence of trace codimensions c tr n(A) and of pure trace codimensions c ptr n (A) of a finite-dimensional algebra A over a field of characteristic zero. We find an upper and lower bound of both codimensions and as a consequence we get that the limits limn→∞ctrn(A)√n and limn→∞cptrn(A) √n always exist and are integers. This result gives a positive answer to a conjecture of Amitsur in this setting. Finally we characterize the varieties of algebras whose exponential growth is bounded by 2
