Generic 2 × 2 matrices in positive characteristic

Abstract: DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF OUR COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND LJUBOMIR DAVIDOVLet R,,(K) be the K-algebra generated by the generic 2 × 2 matrices Yl ..... Ym polynomial identities of M2(2~). This improves on Schelter's construction of a non-multilinear identity of this sort of degree 6, and Drensky and Tsiganchev's existence result for a multilinear identity such as we have found.

“…Given this discrepancy between characteristic 0 and characteristic p > 0, we would like to study affine algebras, at least in the relatively free case, by passing modulo p. Unfortunately this cannot be done naively, due to counterexamples of Schelter [21] and Asparouhov-DrenskyKoev-Tsiganchev [2]. But the idea does work for large enough p. Thus, taking p as in the theorem, one could solve the isomorphism problem for two relatively free PI-algebras.…”

“…A version of the above scheme was used by Schelter [71] to find the first new polynomial identities for 2 × 2 matrices over a field of characteristic 2 which do not originate from the identities of M 2 (Z) and the identity 2x = 0. See also [28] for a multilinear version of this result (obtained by calculations by hand) and [2].…”

“…Once we have at our disposal an essential weak polynomial identity, the method of Razmyslov gives a central polynomial. In this way the existence of the weak identity [x 2 1 , x 2 ] of degree three for M 2 (K) gives rise to a central polynomial of degree four. Similarly the central polynomials for M n (K) of degree n 2 constructed by Halpin [39] used weak polynomial identities of degree n(n + 1)/2.…”
