Abstract:

The double Capelli polynomial of total degree $2t$ is \begin{equation*} \sum \left \{ (\mathrm {sg} \sigma \tau ) x_{\sigma (1)}y_{\tau (1)}x_{\sigma (2)}y_{\tau (2)}\cdots x_{\sigma (t)}y_{\tau (t)} |\; \sigma , \tau \in S_t\right \}. \end{equation*} 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.
