Identities in vector spaces and examples of finite-dimensional linear algebras having no finite basis of identities

  • Published:
Algebra and Logic Aims and scope

Identities in vector spaces embedded in linear algebras are considered. Issues in finite basicity of identities for vector spaces, as well as for finite-dimensional linear (nonassociative) algebras, are investigated. Essentially infinitely based and strongly infinitely based vector spaces and nonassociative linear algebras are exemplified.
