Warfield Invariants in Abelian Group Algebras
Let R be a perfect commutative unital ring without zero divisors of char(R) = p and let G be a multiplicative abelian group. Then the Warfield p-invariants of the normed unit group V (RG) are computed only in terms of R and G. These cardinal-to-ordinal functions, combined with the Ulm-Kaplansky p-invariants, completely determine the structure of V (RG) whenever G is a Warfield p-mixed group.
Let be an associative algebra over a field generated by a vector subspace . The polynomial of the free associative algebra is a weak polynomial identity for the pair if it vanishes in when evaluated on . We survey results on weak polynomial identities and on their applications to polynomial identities and central polynomials of associative and close to them nonassociative algebras and on the finite basis problem. We also present results on weak polynomial identities of degree three....
