Abstract

The Lvov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of the matrix algebra $M_n(F)$, by a multilinear polynomial is a vector subspace of $M_n(F)$. There are many results in the literature, specially in the last 4 years, with partial answers for such problem and also for generalizations for some non-associative matrix algebras. The aim of this project is a detailed study of such results, analizing the differences of each case and highlighting the difficulties to generalize these results and to obtain a solution for the conjecture.
