Identidades polinomiais para álgebras e matrizes triangulares superiores em blocos.

Abstract

In this dissertation we study elementary (or good) gradings in upper block triangular matrix algebras and the corresponding graded polynomial identities. An elementary grading by a group G on the algebra A = UT(α1, α2, ..., αr) of upper block triangular matrices is determined by an n-tuple in Gn, where n = α1 + · · · + αr. It will be proved that the elementary gradings on A determined by two n-tuples in Gn are isomorphic if and only if the n-tuples are in the same orbit in the canonical bi-action on Gn with the group Sα1 × · · · × Sαr acting on the left and the group G acting on the right. These results will be used to prove that under suitable hypothesis (for example if the group G has prime order) two upper block triangular matrix algebras, graded by the group G, satisfy the same graded identities if and only if they are isomorphic (as graded algebras).
