Computational Aspects of Polynomial Identities (Research Notes in Mathematics)

The authors also cover codimension theory, starting with Regev’s theorem and continuing through the Giambruno-Zaicev exponential rank.

The "best" proofs of classical results, such as the existence of central polynomials, the tensor product theorem, the nilpotence of the radical of an affine PI-algebra, Shirshov’s theorem, and characterization of group algebras with PI, are presented.
