In this paper we consider test polynomials in the polynomial algebra and the free associative algebra. A test polynomial is defined by the following property: every endomorphism which fixes the polynomial is an automorphism. We construct families of test polynomials for the polynomial algebra and th

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we examine a class of algebras which includes Lie algebras, Lie color algebras, right alternative algebras, left alternative algebras, antiassociative Ε½ . algebras, and associative algebras. We call this class of algebras β£, β€, β₯ -algebras and we examine gradings of these algebras by groups with finite support. We generalize various results on associative algebras and finite-dimensional Lie algebras. Two of our main results are

Let A be a G-graded β£ , β€, β₯ -algebra with finite support, where G s T = β«ήβ¬ and T is a torsion free abelian group. If the identity component A m Ε½0, 0.
acts nilpotently on A on both sides, then A is sol¨able.
These results are used to examine the invariants of automorphisms and derivations. One such application is COROLLARY 3.3. Let L s [ L be a Lie color algebra o¨er a field K of g g G g characteristic 0 and let D be a finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra of homogeneous deri¨ations of L which are algebraic as K-linear transformations of L. If L D s 0 then L is nilpotent.

Let T be the generic trace algebra generated by the algebra R of two generic 2 = 2 matrices and by all traces of the matrices from R over a field K. We construct new automorphisms of T and R. They induce automorphisms of the polynomial algebra in five variables which fix two of the variables. Our au

We modify slightly Voiculescu's definition of approximation entropy of automorphisms of finite von Neumann algebras and compare it with the entropy of Connes and Sto% rmer. For this the notion of a generator is relevant, as its existence implies that the entropies coincide. Special emphasis is put o
