Abstract

In this paper we study algebras acted on by a finite group GG and the corresponding GG-identities. Let M2(C)M_2( \mathbb{C}) be the 2×22\times 2 matrix algebra over the field of complex numbers C \mathbb{C} and let sl2(C)sl_2( \mathbb{C}) be the Lie algebra of traceless matrices in M2(C)M_2( \mathbb{C}). Assume that GG is a finite group acting as a group of automorphisms on M2(C)M_2( \mathbb{C}). These groups were described in the Nineteenth century, they consist of the finite subgroups of PGL2(C)PGL_2( \mathbb{C}), which are, up to conjugacy, the cyclic groups Zn \mathbb{Z}_n, the dihedral groups DnD_n (of order 2n2n), the alternating groups A4 A_4 and A5A_5, and the symmetric group S4S_4. The GG-identities for M2(C)M_2( \mathbb{C}) were described by Berele. The finite groups acting on sl2(C)sl_2( \mathbb{C}) are the same as those acting on M2(C)M_2( \mathbb{C}). The GG-identities for the Lie algebra of the traceless sl2(C)sl_2( \mathbb{C}) were obtained by Mortari and by the second author. We study the weak GG-identities of the pair (M2(C),sl2(C))(M_2( \mathbb{C}), sl_2( \mathbb{C})), when GG is a finite group. Since every automorphism of the pair is an automorphism for M2(C)M_2( \mathbb{C}), it follows from this that GG is one of the groups above. In this paper we obtain bases of the weak GG-identities for the pair (M2(C),sl2(C))(M_2( \mathbb{C}), sl_2( \mathbb{C})) when GG is a finite group acting as a group of automorphisms.
