Estimates related to Shirshov height theorem (PhD Thesis)
Abstract
In 1993 E. I. Zelmanov asked the following question in Dniester Notebook: Suppose that is a -generated associative ring with the identity . Is it true, that the nilpotency degree of has exponential growth? We show that the nilpotency degree of -generated associative algebra with the identity is smaller than , where and is a constant. We give the definitive answer to E. I. Zelmanov by this result. It is the consequence of one fact, which is based on combinatorics of words. Let , and be positive integers. Then all the words over alphabet of cardinality which length is greater than are either -divided or contain -th power of subword, where a word is -divided, if it can be represented in the following form such that . The symbol means lexicographical order here. A. I. Shirshov proved that the set of non -divided words over alphabet of cardinality has bounded height over the set consisting of all the words of degree . Original Shirshov's estimation was just recursive, in 1982 double exponent was obtained by A. G. Kolotov and in 1993 A. Ya. Belov obtained exponential estimation. We show, that , where and is a constant. Our proof uses Latyshev idea of Dilworth theorem application.
