In this paper some infinitely based varieties of groups are constructed and these results are transferred to the associative algebras (or Lie algebras) over an infinite field of an arbitrary positive characteristic.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16R10, 16R30.The classical theorem of Weitzenböck states that the algebra of invariants K[X]^g of a single unipotent transformation g ∈ GLm(K) acting on the polynomial algebra K[X] = K[x1, . . . , xm] over a field K of characteristic 0 is finitely generated.Partially supported by Grant MM-1106/2001 of the Bulgarian National Science Fund.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16R50, 16R10.The paper is a survey on involutions (anti-automorphisms of order two) of different kinds. Starting with the first systematic investigations on involutions of central simple algebras due to Albert the author emphasizes on their basic properties, the conditions on their existence and their correspondence with structural characteristics of the algebras. Focusing on matrix algebras a complete description of involutions of the first kind on Mn(F)...
We study matrix identities involving multiplication and unary operations such as transposition or Moore–Penrose inversion. We prove that in many cases such identities admit no finite basis.
