Let K be a field, char K = 0. We study the polynomial identities satisfied by Z 2 -graded tensor products of T-prime algebras. Regev and Seeman proved that in a series of cases such tensor products are PI equivalent to T-prime algebras; they conjectured that this is always the case. We deal here with the remaining cases and thus confirm Regev and Seeman's conjecture. For some "small" algebras we can remove the restriction on the characteristic of the base field, and we show that the behaviour of the corresponding graded tensor products is quite similar to that for the usual (ungraded) tensor products. Finally we consider β-graded tensor products (also called commutation factors) and their identities. We show that Regev's A ⊗ B theorem holds for β-graded tensor products whenever the gradings are by finite abelian groups. Furthermore we study the PI equivalence of β-graded tensor products of T-prime algebras.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
