Abstract

In this paper we consider the algebra of upper triangular matrices UTn(F)_n(F), endowed with a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-grading (superalgebra) and equipped with a superinvolution. These structures naturally arise in the context of Lie and Jordan superalgebras and play a central role in the theory of polynomial identities with involution, as showed in the framework developed by Aljadeff, Giambruno, and Karasik in [2]. We provide a complete description of the identities of UT4(F)_4(F), where the grading is induced by the sequence (0,1,0,1)(0,1,0,1) and the superinvolution is the super-symplectic one. This work extends previous classifications obtained for the cases n=2n = 2 and n=3n = 3, and addresses an open problem for n4n \geq 4. In the last part of the paper, we investigate the image of multilinear polynomials on the superalgebra UTn(F)_n(F) with superinvolution, showing that the image is a vector space if and only if n3n \leq 3, thus contributing to an analogue of the L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture in this context.
