Abstract

In this paper we prove that the image of multilinear polynomials evaluated on the algebra UTn(K) of n x n upper triangular matrices over an infinite field K equals J(r), a power of its Jacobson ideal J = J(UTn(K)). In particular, this shows that the analogue of the Lvov-Kaplansky conjecture for UTn(K) is true, solving a conjecture of Fagundes and de Mello. To prove that fact, we introduce the notion of commutator-degree of a polynomial and characterize the multilinear polynomials of commutator-degree r in terms of its coefficients. It turns out that the image of a multilinear polynomial f on UTn(K) is J(r) if and only if f has commutator-degree r. (AU)
