Abstract: | LetK be a field, charK=0 andM
n
(K) the algebra ofn×n matrices overK. If λ=(λ1,…,λ
m
) andμ=(μ
1,…,μ
m
) are partitions ofn
2 let
wherex
1,…,x
n
2,y
1,…,y
n
2 are noncommuting indeterminates andS
n
2 is the symmetric group of degreen
2.
The polynomialsF
λ, μ
, when evaluated inM
n
(K), take central values and we study the problem of classifying those partitions λ,μ for whichF
λ, μ
is a central polynomial (not a polynomial identity) forM
n
(K).
We give a formula that allows us to evaluateF
λ, μ
inM(K) in general and we prove that if λ andμ are not both derived in a suitable way from the partition δ=(1, 3,…, 2n−3, 2n−1), thenF
λ, μ
is a polynomial identity forM
n
(K). As an application, we exhibit a new class of central polynomials forM
n
(K).
