Generalized Kaplansky conjecture for simple finite-dimensional algebras
Generalized Kaplansky conjecture for simple finite-dimensional algebras
Let be an infinite field, and let be a simple finite-dimensional algebra over . For a multilinear polynomial evaluated on , consider the resulting set of values in .
Generalized Kaplansky conjecture. The evaluation of any multilinear polynomial over is a vector subspace of .
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.
