On Ordinary and Z2-graded Polynomial Identities of the Grassmann Algebra

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a survey of results concerning the ordinary and Z2-graded polynomial identities of the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra over a field of characteristic zero, as well as of its sequences of ordinary and Z2-graded codimensions and cocharacters. We also intend to describe briefly the techniques used by the authors in order to illustrate some important methods used in PI-theory.
