On minimal varieties of quadratic growth (Q855586)

The authors study polynomial identities of an important subalgebra of the PI-algebra \(UT_3\) of the \(3\times 3\) upper triangular matrices in characteristic zero. It is shown that the five algebras which were used by \textit{A. Giambruno} and \textit{D. La Mattina} [J. Algebra 284, 371--391 (2005; Zbl 1071.16021)] to classify (up to PI-equivalence) the algebras whose sequence of codimensions is bounded by a linear function, generate the only five minimal varieties of quadratic growth.
