Associative Algebras Satisfying a Semigroup Identity

چکیده
Denote by (R, ·) the multiplicative semigroup of an associative algebra R over an infinite field, and let (R, ◦) represent R when viewed as a semigroup via the circle operation x ◦ y = x + y + xy. In this paper we characterize the existence of an identity in these semigroups in terms of the Lie structure of R. Namely, we prove that the following conditions on R are equivalent: the semigroup (R, ◦) satisfies an identity; the semigroup (R, ·) satisfies a reduced identity; and, the associated Lie algebra of R satisfies the Engel condition. When R is finitely generated these conditions are each equivalent to R being upper Lie nilpotent.

Let S be a locally compact foundation semigroup with identity and be its semigroup algebra. Let X be a weak*-closed left translation invariant subspace of In this paper, we prove that X is invariantly complemented in if and only if the left ideal of has a bounded approximate identity. We also prove that a foundation semigroup with identity S is left amenab...
متن کاملComputing Nilpotent Quotients of Associative Algebras and Algebras Satisfying a Polynomial Identity
We describe an effective algorithm to determine the maximal class-c quotient (or the maximal commutative class-c quotient) of a finitely presented associative algebra over an arbitrary field. As application, we investigate the relatively free d-generator algebras satisfying the identity xn = 0. In particular, we consider the identity x = 0 and the cases (d, n) = (2, 4) and (d, n) = (2, 5).
متن کاملAn algorithm for commutative semigroup algebras which are principal ideal rings
Associative and commutative algebras with identity have various well-known applications. In particular, many classical codes are ideals in commutative algebras (see [4], [12] for references). Computer storage, encoding and decoding algorithms simplify if all these codes have single generator polynomials. Thus it is of interest to determine when all ideals of an algebra are principal. In [5] Dec...
متن کاملA Generalization of Noncommutative Jordan Algebras*
and x y denotes the product x ‘3~ = my + y.2’. In Section 1 we show that a noncommutative Jordan algebra of characteristic # 2 must satisfy (1). Since power-associative algebras satisfying (1) need not be flexible [5] it follows that the class of power-associative algebras satisfying (1) is strictly larger than the class of noncommutative Jordan algebras. In Section 2 we obtain a structure theo...
