On the growth of algebras with bialgebra action (Q677447)

Let \(A\) be a finitely generated associative unital algebra over a field \(k\) and \(B\) be a \(k\)-bialgebra which acts on \(A\). The author studies the growth rate of \(A\) under its algebra structure together with the action of \(B\). In particular, he proves that if \(B\) is a coassociative bialgebra which is finitely generated as a \(k\)-algebra and its length growth rate is less than exponential and \(A\) is commutative then the depth growth rate of \(A\) is less than doubly exponential. This paper is connected with the following open and interesting problem of the author: is it true that every f.g. subalgebra of a free associative algebra is finitely related within the quasivariety generated by all free associative \(k\)-algebras?
