Abstract

Let G be a group of order k. We consider the algebra Mk(C) of k by k matrices over the complex numbers and view it as a crossed product with respect to G by embedding G in the symmetric group Sk via the regular representation and embedding Sk in Mk(C) in the usual way. This induces a natural G-grading on Mk(C) which we call a crossed-product grading. We study the graded ⁎-identities for Mk(C) equipped with such a crossed-product grading and the transpose involution. To each multilinear monomial in the free graded algebra with involution we associate a directed labeled graph. Use of these graphs allows us to produce a set of generators for the (T,⁎)-ideal of identities. It also leads to new proofs of the results of Kostant and Rowen on the standard identities satisfied by skew matrices. Finally we determine an asymptotic formula for the ⁎-graded codimension of Mk(C).
