Kaplansky–Lvov conjecture for multilinear polynomial images on matrix algebras
Kaplansky–Lvov conjecture for multilinear polynomial images on matrix algebras
Let be a multilinear polynomial in variables over a field , and let be the associated polynomial map on . Write for the set of trace-zero matrices in . Kaplansky–Lvov conjecture. The image satisfies
The conjecture concerns the possible images of multilinear noncommutative polynomials on matrix algebras. The source says it was open for at the time of writing, with the cases and having substantial partial results; it also notes that the conjecture was subsequently settled by Luo and Wang and independently by Gargate and de Mello.
