The PI property of skew PBW extensions

Abstract

In this article we study the polynomial identity (PI) property of skew PBW extensions. We show that every bijective skew PBW extension over a prime PI-algebra has nontrivial center. This fact allows us to determine, from the known description of the center in several classes of examples, whether such extensions satisfy a polynomial identity. Furthermore, building on results of Brown and Zhang BrownZhang2022, we investigate the PI property of certain -algebras over fields of positive characteristic.
