Identidades polinomiais e polinômios centrais com involução.

Abstract

In this dissertation we describe basis for the polynomial identities and central polynomials with involution for the algebra of 2 × 2 matrices over an infinite field K of characteristic p 6= 2 considering the transpose involution, denoted by t, and also the symplectic involution, denoted by s. It is known that, since the field K is infinite, if ∗ is an involution on M2(K), then the ideal of identities (M2(K), ∗) coincides with (M2(K), t) or with (M2(K), s). We also consider the algebras Mn(E), Mk,l(E) and M1,1(E) over fields of characteristic 0. For the algebras Mn(E) and Mk,l(E) we prove that for a large class of involutions the polynomial identities with involution coincide with the ordinary identities, and for the algebra M1,1(E) with the involution ∗ induced by the transposition superinvolution of the superalgebra M1,1(K) we exhibit nite basis for the ∗-polynomial identities.
