Polynomial Identities in Algebras (Springer INdAM Series, Band 44) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Onofrio Mario Di Vincenzo has been a full professor of Algebra since 2000. He currently works at the University of Basilicata where he has been the head of the department for the last 8 years. His research interests focus on the polynomial identities of algebras, in particular in the presence of gradings or involutions acting on them.

Antonio Giambruno received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1977 under the supervision of Israel N. Herstein. He became a professor at the department of mathematics of the University of Palermo in 1980. He has been a visiting researcher at numerous institutions, including University of Southern California, MSRI, University of Alberta, and University of San Paulo. His research focuses on noncommutative algebra, especially on polynomial identities and their connection with representation theory and asymptotic methods.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This volume contains the talks given at the INDAM workshop entitled "Polynomial identites in algebras", held in Rome in September 2019. The purpose of the book is to present the current state of the art in the theory of PI-algebras. The review of the classical results in the last few years has pointed out new perspectives for the development of the theory. In particular, the contributions emphasize on the computational and combinatorial aspects of the theory, its connection with invariant theory, representation theory, growth problems. It is addressed to researchers in the field.
