We show that the path algebra of a quiver satisfies the same polynomial identities of an algebra of matrices, if any. In particular, the algebra of nxn matrices is PI-equivalent to the path algebra of the oriented cycle with n vertices.

Abstract
We show that the path algebra of a quiver satisfies the same polynomial identities of an algebra of matrices, if any. In particular, the algebra of nxn matrices is PI-equivalent to the path algebra of the oriented cycle with n vertices.File allegati a questo prodotto
