Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field and be the matrix algebra over and be the invertible elements in . We explore the image of polynomials with constants, namely from the free algebra . In this article, we compute the images of the polynomial maps given by (a) generalized sum of powers and (b) generalized commutator map , where , are non-zero elements of . We compute this in the first case by fixing a simultaneous conjugate pair for and it turns out that it is surjective in most of the cases. In the second case, we show that the image of the map is always a vector space.
