The space of derivations of finite dimensional evolution algebras associated to graphs over a field with characteristic zero has been completely characterized in the literature. In this work we generalize that characterization by describing the derivations of this class of algebras for fields of any characteristic.
Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero and $W$ be an associative affine $F$-algebra satisfying a polynomial identity (PI). The codimension sequence associated to $W$, $c_n(W)$, is known to be of the form $Theta (c n^t d^n)$, where $d$ is the well known (PI) exponent of $W$. In this paper we establish an algebraic interpretation of the polynomial part (the constant $t$) by means of Kemers theory. In particular, we show that in case $W$ is a basic algebra, then $t = frac{d-q}{2} + s$, where $q$ is the number of simple component in $W/J(W)$ and $s+1$ is the nilpotency degree of $J(W)$. Thus proving a conjecture of Giambruno.
We construct a family of homomorphisms between Weyl modules for affine Lie algebras in characteristic p, which supports our conjecture on the strong linkage principle in this context. We also exhibit a large class of reducible Weyl modules beyond level one, for p not necessarily small.
We give a full classification, up to equivalence, of finite-dimensional graded division algebras over the field of real numbers. The grading group is any abelian group.
