Let $A=B+C$ be an associative algebra graded by a group $G$, which is a sum of two homogeneous subalgebras $B$ and $C$. We prove that if $B$ is an ideal of $A$, and both $B$ and $C$ satisfy graded polynomial identities, then the same happens for the algebra $A$. We also introduce the notion of graded semi-identity for the algebra $A$ graded by a fi...

In this paper, we study the images of multilinear graded polynomials on the graded algebra of upper triangular matrices $UT_n$ . For positive integers $q\leq n$ , we classify these images on $UT_{n}$ endowed with a particular elementary ${\mathbb {Z}}_{q}$ -grading. As a consequence, we obtain the images of multilinear graded polynomials on $UT_{n}...

In this paper we study the images of multilinear graded polynomials on the graded algebra of upper triangular matrices UT_n. For positive integers q \leq n, we classify these images on UT_n endowed with a particular elementary Z_q-grading. As a consequence, we obtain the images of multilinear graded polynomials on UT_n with the natural Z_n-grading....

The well-known Lvov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear polynomial $f$ evaluated on $n\times n$ matrices is a vector space. A weaker version of this conjecture, known as the Mesyan conjecture, states that if $m=deg( f)$ and $n\geq m-1$ then its image contains the set of trace zero matrices. Such conjecture has been proved fo...

The purpose of this paper is to describe the images of multilinear polynomials of arbitrary degree on the strictly upper triangular matrix algebra.

We describe the images of multilinear polynomials of degree up to four on the upper triangular matrix algebra.
