Abstract: The double Capelli polynomial of total degree $2t$ is

\begin{displaymath}\sum \left\{ (\mathrm{sg}\, \sigma\tau) x_{\sigma(1)}y_{\tau(... ...\sigma(t)}y_{\tau(t)} \vert\; \sigma,\, \tau \in S_t\right\}. \end{displaymath}

It was proved by Giambruno-Sehgal and Chang that the double Capelli polynomial of total degree $4n$ is a polynomial identity for $M_n(F)$. (Here, $F$ is a field and $M_n(F)$ is the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over $F$.) Using a strengthened version of this result obtained by Domokos, we show that the double Capelli polynomial of total degree $4n-2$ is a polynomial identity for any proper $F$-subalgebra of $M_n(F)$. Subsequently, we present a similar result for nonsplit inequivalent extensions of full matrix algebras.
