Abstract
A variety of associative algebras is nonmatrix if it does not contain the algebra of 2 × 2 matrices over a given field. Nonmatrix varieties were introduced and studied by V. N. Latyshev in [Algebra and Logic, 16, No. 2, 98-122 (1977); Algebra and Logic, 16, No. 2, 122-133 (1977); Mat. Zam., 27, No. 1, 147-156 (1980)] in connection with the Specht problem. A series of equivalent characterizations of nonmatrix varieties was obtained in [Isr. J. Math., 181, No. 1, 337-348 (2011)]. In the present paper, the notion of nonmatrix variety is extended to nonassociative algebras, and their characterization from the last-mentioned paper is generalized to alternative, Jordan, and some other varieties of algebras.
期刊介绍:
This bimonthly journal publishes results of the latest research in the areas of modern general algebra and of logic considered primarily from an algebraic viewpoint. The algebraic papers, constituting the major part of the contents, are concerned with studies in such fields as ordered, almost torsion-free, nilpotent, and metabelian groups; isomorphism rings; Lie algebras; Frattini subgroups; and clusters of algebras. In the area of logic, the periodical covers such topics as hierarchical sets, logical automata, and recursive functions.
Algebra and Logic is a translation of ALGEBRA I LOGIKA, a publication of the Siberian Fund for Algebra and Logic and the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
All articles are peer-reviewed.
