The Amitsur-Levitski theorem asserts that $M_n(F)$ satisfies a polynomial identity of degree $2n$. (Here, $F$ is a field and $M_n(F)$ is the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over $F$). It is easy to give examples of subalgebras of $M_n(F)$…

For every polynomial f of degree n with no double roots, there is an associated family C(f) of harmonic algebraic curves, fibred over the circle, with at most n-1 singular fibres. We study the combinatorial topology of C(f) in the generic…

Formanek made the conjecture that the minimal degree of the central polynomials for the $n\times n$ matrix algebra over a field of characteristic 0 is $(n^2+3n-2)/2$ and this is true for $n\leq 3$. For $n=4$ there are examples of central…
