Crossed products and their central polynomials. (Q387386)

In the article under review, the authors consider the crossed product \(G\)-grading on matrix algebra \(M_n(F)\), where \(F\) is a field of characteristic zero. First, the authors mention the role of central polynomials of an algebra \(A\), i.e. nonidentity polynomials which obtain only central values of \(A\). In fact, these polynomials are intimately related to polynomial identities. Central polynomials appear also in a natural way in the study of generic algebras. In their article, the authors consider a \(G\)-graded version of the theory of central polynomials. Here, their main purpose is to present explicitly all \(G\)-graded central polynomials of \(M_n(F)\). The results obtained are complete.
