Abstract: Any multilinear non-central polynomial $p$ (in several noncommuting variables) takes on values of degree $n$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(F)$ over an infinite field $F$. The polynomial $p$ is called {it $u$-central} for $M_n(F)$ if $p^u$ takes on only scalar values, with $k$ minimal such. Multilinear $u$-central polynomials do not exist for any $u$ with $n>3$, thereby answering a question of Drensky. Saltman proved that an arbitrary polynomial $p$ cannot be $u$-central for $M_n(F)$ for $n$ odd unless $n$ is prime; we show for $n$ even, that $u$ must be 2.
