Makar-Limanov's conjecture states that if a division ring D is finitely generated and infinite dimensional over its center k then D contains a free k-subalgebra of rank 2. In this work, we will investigate the existence of such structures…

In 1992, following earlier conjectures of Lichtman and Makar-Limanov, Klein conjectured that a noncommutative domain must contain a free, multiplicative, noncyclic subsemigroup. He verified the conjecture when the center is uncountable. In…

We show that some results of L. Makar-Limanov, P. Malcolmson and Z. Reichstein on the existence of free associative algebras are valid in the more general context of varieties of algebras.

We study the existence of free subalgebras in division algebras, and prove the following general result: if $A$ is a noetherian domain which is countably generated over an uncountable algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, then…

We prove that for every automata algebra of exponential growth, the associated Lie algebra contains a free subalgebra. For n\geq 1, let L_{n+2} be a Lie algebra with generator set x_1,..., x_{n+2} and the following relations: for k\leq n,…

We conjecture that a $p$-algebra over a complete discrete valued field $K$ contains a totally ramified purely inseparable subfield if and only if it contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield. We prove the conjecture in several…

We develop a new method to deal with the Cancellation Conjecture of Zariski in different environments. We prove the conjecture for free associative algebras of rank two. We also produce a new proof of the conjecture for polynomial algebras…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic $p$ with residue $k$ which is not necessarily perfect. We prove the Conjecture in \cite{cs} that a $p$-algebra over $K$ contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield if it…

In this note we show that there exist a $2^\mathfrak{c}$-generated free algebra $\mathcal{S} \subset \mathbb{R}^\mathbb{R}$ of Riemann integrable functions and a free algebra $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{R}^{[0,1]}$ of continuous functions,…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…

Smoktunowicz, Lenagan, and the second-named author recently gave an example of a nil algebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most three. Their construction requires a countable base field, however. We show that for any field $k$ and any…

Let $R$ be an algebra over a commutative ring $k$. Suppose that $R$ is endowed with a descending filtration indexed on an ordered group $(G,<)$ such that the restriction to $k$ is positive. We show that the existence of free algebras on a…

We prove an analogue of the Magnus theorem for associative algebras without unity over arbitrary fields. Namely, if an algebra is given by n+k generators and k relations and has an n-element system of generators, then this algebra is a free…

We prove that for a complete quasivariety $K$ of topological $E$-algebras of countable discrete signature $E$ and each submetrizable $ANR(k_\omega)$-space $X$ its free topological $E$-algebra $F_K(X)$ in the class $K$ is a submetrizable…

Let $k$ be a field and let $A=\bigoplus_{n\ge 1}A_n$ be a positively graded $k$-algebra. We recall that $A$ is graded nilpotent if for every $d\ge 1$, the subalgebra of $A$ generated by elements of degree $d$ is nilpotent. We give a method…

Let $K\langle X\rangle =K\langle X_1,...,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra of $n$ generators over a field $K$, and let $R\langle X\rangle =R\langle X_1,...,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra of $n$ generators over an arbitrary commutative ring…

We establish the Composition-Diamond lemma for non-associative algebras over a free commutative algebra. As an application, we prove that every countably generated non-associative algebra over an arbitrary commutative algebra $K$ can be…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,x_2,...x_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over $\mathbb K.$ We study bases of the free $R$-module $W_n(\mathbb{K})$ of all…

We introduce the notion of $\lambda$-double Lie algebra, which coincides with usual double Lie algebra when $\lambda = 0$. We state that every $\lambda$-double Lie algebra for $\lambda\neq0$ provides the structure of modified double Poisson…

Let K be a skew field and (G,<) an ordered group. We show that the skew field generated by the group ring K[G] inside the Malcev-Neumann series ring K((G;<)) contains noncommutative free group algebras.
