On nonmatrix varieties of associative rings

Thiago Castilho de Mello, Felipe Yukihide Yasumura

Abstract

We study nonmatrix varieties of $\mathbf{k}$-algebras, where $\mathbf{k}$ is a unital commutative ring. Our results extend to this generality known results for the case in which $\mathbf{k}$ is an infinite field. Also, we generalize these results to varieties of $\mathbf{k}$-algebras not containing the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices.

Key Result

Lemma 1

Let $\mathscr{V}$ be a variety of associative $\mathbf{k}$-algebras satisfying a polynomial identity, where $\mathbf{k}$ is a unital commutative ring, and let $\mathcal{A}\in\mathscr{V}$ be a primitive algebra. Then either $\mathcal{A}$ is a field, or $\mathscr{V}$ contains $\mathrm{M}_2(S^{-1}\bar{
