Generalized Kaplansky conjecture for simple finite-dimensional algebras

Let FF be an infinite field, and let AA be a simple finite-dimensional algebra over FF. For a multilinear polynomial evaluated on AA, consider the resulting set of values in AA.

Generalized Kaplansky conjecture. The evaluation of any multilinear polynomial over AA is a vector subspace of AA.

This extends the matrix-algebra question to simple finite-dimensional algebras. The source explains that the simplicity hypothesis is essential, since the assertion fails for the non-simple Grassmann algebra; the paper studies related Jordan-algebra cases.
