Abstract
In this paper, we prove that every matrix over a division ring is representable as a product of at most 10 traceless matrices as well as a product of at most four semi-traceless matrices. By applying this result and the obtained so far other results, we show that elements of some algebras possess some rather interesting and nontrivial decompositions into products of images of non-commutative polynomials.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Algebra and Computation publishes high quality original research papers in combinatorial, algorithmic and computational aspects of algebra (including combinatorial and geometric group theory and semigroup theory, algorithmic aspects of universal algebra, computational and algorithmic commutative algebra, probabilistic models related to algebraic structures, random algebraic structures), and gives a preference to papers in the areas of mathematics represented by the editorial board.
