In this paper we study algebras with trace and their trace polynomial identities over a field of characteristic 0. We consider two commutative matrix algebras: $D_2$, the algebra of $2\times 2$ diagonal matrices and $C_2$, the algebra of $2…
The central objective of this article is to provide an elementary proof of the following theorem, of which we are unaware of any trace in the existing literature. If $B$ is a net finite free algebra over a commutative ring $A$, then it is…
We study the differential identities of the algebra $M_k(F)$ of $k\times k$ matrices over a field $F$ of characteristic zero when its full Lie algebra of derivations, $L=\mbox{Der}(M_k(F))$, acts on it. We determine a set of 2 generators of…
The associative algebra of symplectic reflections $\mathcal H:= H_{1,\nu_1, \nu_2}(I_2(2m))$ based on the group generated by the root system $I_2(2m)$ has two parameters, $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$. For every value of these parameters, the algebra…
An important aspect in the theory of algebras with polynomial identities is the study of the asymptotic behavior of the codimension sequence $c_n(A),\, n\geq 1,$ which measures the growth of polynomial identities of a given algebra $A$. In…
The trace on matrix rings, along with the augmentation map and Kaplansky trace on group rings, are some of the many examples of linear functions on algebras that vanish on all commutators. We generalize and unify these examples by studying…
We study the space of non-degenerate traces on quantized Kleinian singularities of type A by studying their complement, the degenerate traces. In particular, we find the dimension of the space of twisted traces as a function of the…
We consider algebras in a modular tensor category C. If the trace pairing of an algebra A in C is non-degenerate we associate to A a commutative algebra Z(A), called the full centre, in a doubled version of the category C. We prove that two…
Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero, $G$ be a group and $R$ be the algebra $M_n(F)$ with a $G$-grading. Bahturin and Drensky proved that if $R$ is an elementary and the neutral component is commutative then the graded identities of…
The theory of algebras with polynomial identities has developed significantly, with special attention devoted to the classification of varieties according to the asymptotic behavior of their codimension sequences. This sequence is a…
A characterization is given for directed graphs that yield graph $C^*$-algebras with continuous trace. This is established for row-finite graphs with no sources first using a groupoid approach, and extended to the general case via the…
In the classical linear degeneracy testing problem, we are given $n$ real numbers and a $k$-variate linear polynomial $F$, for some constant $k$, and have to determine whether there exist $k$ numbers $a_1,\ldots,a_k$ from the set such that…
A non-zero $\mathbb{F}$-valued $\mathbb{F}$-linear map on a finite dimensional $\mathbb{F}$-algebra is called an $\mathbb{F}$-valued trace if its kernel does not contain any non-zero ideals. However, given an $\mathbb{F}$-algebra such a map…
The noncommutative (or mixed) trace algebra $T_{nd}$ is generated by $d$ generic $n\times n$ matrices and by the algebra $C_{nd}$ generated by all traces of products of generic matrices, $n,d\geq 2$. It is known that over a field of…
A commutative algebra is exact if its multiplication endomorphisms are trace-free and is Killing metrized if its Killing type trace-form is nondegenerate and invariant. A Killing metrized exact commutative algebra is necessarily neither…
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a generalized matrix algebra over a commutative ring $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{Z(G)}$ be the center of $\mathcal{G}$. Suppose that ${\mathfrak q}\colon \mathcal{G}\times \mathcal{G}\longrightarrow \mathcal{G}$ is an…
The algebra $\mathcal H:= H_{1,\nu}(I_2(2m+1))$ of observables of the Calogero model based on the root system $I_2(2m+1)$ has an $m$-dimensional space of traces and an $(m+1)$-dimensional space of supertraces. In the preceding paper we…
The spectral theory of quantum graphs is related via an exact trace formula with the spectrum of the lengths of periodic orbits (cycles) on the graphs. The latter is a degenerate spectrum, and understanding its structure (i.e.,finding out…
For each complex number $\nu$, an associative symplectic reflection algebra $\mathcal H:= H_{1,\nu}(I_2(2m+1))$, based on the group generated by root system $I_2(2m+1)$, has an $m$-dimensional space of traces and an $(m+1)$-dimensional…
We present new identities for determinants of matrices $(A_{i,j})$ with entries $A_{i,j}$ equal to $a_{i,j}$ or $a_{i,0}a_{0,j}-a_{i,j}$, where the $a_{i,j}$'s are indeterminates. We show that these identities are behind trace identities…
