Nonfinite basis conjecture for polynomial identities of matrix algebras in characteristic two

Let KK be an infinite field of characteristic 22, and let M2(K)M_2(K) denote the algebra of 2×22\times 2 matrices. A polynomial identity basis is a finite set of polynomial identities from which all polynomial identities follow. Nonfinite basis conjecture. The polynomial identities of M2(K)M_2(K) do not follow from a finite number of identities. The text presents this as a conjecture because the corresponding case remains open, while contrasting it with the known nonfinite basis result for the related Lie algebra gl2(K)gl_2(K).
