Group gradings, graded identities and central polynomials of algebras with almost polynomial -growth

arXiv:2610.17408

Abstract

The finite-dimensional -algebras and occupy a distinguished position in the theory of central polynomials. Together with the infinite-dimensional Grassmann algebra, these algebras generate the only varieties of almost polynomial growth of proper central codimensions. We determine finite generating sets for their -spaces of central polynomials and compute their central and proper central codimensions. We also prove that every group grading on is isomorphic to an elementary grading and determine the identities and codimensions associated with all its -gradings.
