review text: The authors prove that the \(m\)-generated Grassmann algebra can be embedded into a \(2^{m-1}\times 2^{m-1}\) matrix algebra over a factor of a commutative polynomial algebra in \(m\) indeterminates. Cayley-Hamilton and standard identities for \(n\times n\) matrices over the \(m\)-generated Grassmann algebra are derived using this embedding. Theorem. Let \(A\) be an \(n\times n\) matrix with coefficients belonging to the \(m\)-generated Grassmann algebra over a field \(K\) of characteristic zero. Then \(A\) satisfies an identity of the form: \[ A^{2^{m-1}n}+c_1A^{2^{m-1}n-1}+\cdots+c_{2^{m-1}n-1}A+c_{2^{m-1}n}I_n=0,\quad c_i\in K. \] The authors also present embedding results for skew polynomial rings.
