Bergman's centralizer theorem and quantization

Abstract: We prove Bergman's theorem on centralizers by using generic matrices and Kontsevich's quantization method. For any field

e x t b f k

of positive characteristics, set

A = e x t b f k l a n g l e x_{1}, d o t s, x_{s} a n g l e

be a free associative algebra, then any centralizer

m a t h c a l C (f)

of nontrivial element

is a ring of polynomials on a single variable. We also prove that there is no commutative subalgebra with transcendent degree

g e q 2

of

A
