Finitely based ideals of weak polynomial identities

From MaRDI portal





Let \(C\) be the Clifford algebra of the \(K\)-vector space \(V\) equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, where \(K\) is an infinite field whose characteristic is different from \(2\). It is proved that if the dimension of \(V\) is infinite, then all identities of the pair \((C,V)\) are consequences of the single identity \([x^2,y]=0\). When \(V\) is finite dimensional an analogue of the standard identity (depending on the dimension of \(V\)) has to be added in order to get a basis of the identities of the pair \((C,V)\). As an application the author gives a new proof of his main result in [J. Algebra 188, No. 2, 610-625 (1997)]. Since \(C\) is the associative enveloping algebra of the Jordan algebra of the symmetric bilinear form on \(V\) the results of this paper are closely related to the open problem of describing the polynomial identities satisfied by this Jordan algebra.
