Abstract

We define the notion of an almost polynomial identity of an associative algebra RR, and show that its existence implies the existence of an actual polynomial identity of RR. A similar result is also obtained for Lie algebras and Jordan algebras. We also prove related quantitative results for simple and semisimple algebras.
