A note on trinomial identities in associative algebras

In the paper, trinomial identities of associative algebras over an infinite field are considered (in general, the algebras may have no unit), i.e., identities of the formα m ₁+β m ₂+γ m ₃=0, where α, β, and γ are scalars andm ₁,m ₂, andm ₃ are different monomials. It is shown that any nontrivial identity if this kind implies a semigroup identity. The algebras with trinomial identities are characterized in the language of varieties.

A polynomial identity for the bilinear operation in Lie–Yamaguti algebras

We use computer algebra to demonstrate the existence of a multilinear polynomial identity of degree 8 satisfied by the bilinear operation in every Lie–Yamaguti algebra. This identity is a consequence of the defining identities for Lie–Yamaguti algebras, but is not a consequence of anticommutativity. We give an explicit form of this identity as an alternating sum over all permutations of the variables in a nonassociative polynomial with 8 terms. Our computations show that no such identities exist in degrees less than 8.     

Binary Lie algebras satisfying the third Engel condition

Let Φ be a unital associative commutative ring with 1/2. The local nilpotency is proved of binary Lie Φ-algebras satisfying the third Engel condition. Moreover, it is proved that this class of algebras does not contain semiprime algebras.     

Jordan isomorphisms of finitary incidence algebras

Let X be a partially ordered set, R a commutative 2-torsionfree unital ring and FI(X, R) the finitary incidence algebra of X over R. In this note we prove that each R-linear Jordan isomorphism of FI(X, R) onto an R-algebra A is the near-sum of a homomorphism and an anti-homomorphism.
