A-identities for the Grassmann Algebra: the Conjecture of Henke and Regev
نویسنده
چکیده
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let E be the infinite dimensional Grassmann (or exterior) algebra over K. Denote by Pn the vector space of the multilinear polynomials of degree n in x1, . . . , xn in the free associative algebra K(X). The symmetric group Sn acts on the left-hand side on Pn, thus turning it into an Sn-module. This fact, although simple, plays an important role in the theory of PI algebras since one may study the identities satisfied by a given algebra by applying methods from the representation theory of the symmetric group. The Sn-modules Pn and KSn are canonically isomorphic. Letting An be the alternating group in Sn, one may study KAn and its isomorphic copy in Pn with the corresponding action of An. Henke and Regev described the An-codimensions of the Grassmann algebra E, and conjectured a finite generating set of the An-identities for E. Here we answer their conjecture in the affirmative.

متن کامل$L^p$-Conjecture on Hypergroups
In this paper, we study $L^p$-conjecture on locally compact hypergroups and by some technical proofs we give some sufficient and necessary conditions for a weighted Lebesgue space $L^p(K,w)$ to be a convolution Banach algebra, where $1<p<infty$, $K$ is a locally compact hypergroup and $w$ is a weight function on $K$. Among the other things, we also show that if $K$ is a locally compact hyper...
متن کاملOn bounded weak approximate identities and a new version of them
In this paper, we give a short survey of results and problems concerning the notion of bounded weak approximate identities in Banach algebras. Also, we introduce a new version of approximate identities and give one illuminating example to show the difference.
متن کاملCombinatorial proofs of Cayley-type identities for derivatives of determinants and pfaffians
The classic Cayley identity states that det(∂) (detX) = s(s+ 1) · · · (s+ n− 1) (detX) where X = (xij) is an n× n matrix of indeterminates and ∂ = (∂/∂xij) is the corresponding matrix of partial derivatives. In this paper we present straightforward combinatorial proofs of a variety of Cayley-type identities, both old and new. The most powerful of these proofs employ Grassmann algebra (= exterio...
متن کاملMatrix representations of finitely generated Grassmann algebras and some consequences
We prove that the m-generated Grassmann algebra can be embedded into a 2 × 2 matrix algebra over a factor of a commutative polynomial algebra in m indeterminates. Cayley–Hamilton and standard identities for n× n matrices over the m-generated Grassmann algebra are derived from this embedding. Other related embedding results are also presented.
