Synopsis

A ring R satisfies a polynomial identity if there is a polynomial f in noncommuting variables which vanishes under substitutions from R. For example, commutative rings satisfy the polynomial f(x,y) = xy - yx and exterior algebras satisfy the polynomial f(x,y,z) = (xy - yx)z - z(xy - yx).

Review

From the reviews:

“The book under review consists of two excellent monographs on the PI-theory by two leading researchers, V. Drensky and E. Formanek ... In summary, both expositions are very well written, and the book is recommended both for graduate students and researchers.” (MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS)
