Métodos diferentes são empregados conforme a característica do corpo: se Char K = 0, à descrição das identidades graduadas se reduz a descrição das identidades multilineares, o que foi feito no Capítulo 2, onde são descritas as identidade de Mn(K) com uma classe ampla de graduações elementares; se Char K =p>0 e K é in nito, a descrição das identidades graduadas é reduzida à descrição das identidades multi-homogêneas, que torna o problema mais difícil, e técnicas como a construção de álgebras genéricas são necessárias. No Capítulo 3 são descritas as identidades Z e Zn-graduadas de Mn(K) para um corpo in nito K. / The main theme of this dissertation is the description of the graded polynomial identities of the algebra Mn(K). Diferent methods are used depending on the characteristic of the field: if Char K = 0, the description of the graded identities is reduced to the description of the multilinear graded identities, what was done in Chapter 2, where the identities of Mn(K) are described for a wide class of elementary gradings; if Char K =p>0 and K is in nite, the description of the graded identities is reduced to the study of the multi-homogeneous identities, wich makes it harder, and techniques such as the construction of generic algebras are necessary. In Chapter 3 the Z and Zn-graded identities of Mn(K) are described for an infinite field K

Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa e à Inovação Tecnológica do Estado de Sergipe - FAPITEC/SE / The Rees algebra of an ideal is an algebraic construction that takes place in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Currently, the study of arithmetic and homological properties of this object is cause for diverse research in commutative algebra. Our main goal in this work is to address aspects such as dimension and defining equations of the Rees algebra and other algebras that relate to it. / A álgebra de Rees de um ideal é uma construção algébrica que ocupa lugar de destaque na álgebra comutativa e na geometria algébrica. Atualmente, o estudo de propriedades aritméticas e homológicas desse objeto é motivo de diversas pesquisas em álgebra comutativa. Nosso principal objetivo nesse trabalho é tratar de aspectos como dimensão e equações de definição da álgebra de Rees e de outras álgebras que relacionam-se com ela.

Although there is no natural internal product for hermitian forms over an algebra with involution of the first kind, we describe how tomultiply two ε-hermitian forms to obtain a quadratic form over the base field. This allows to define a commutative graded ring structure by taking together bilinear forms and ε-hermitian forms, which we call the mixedWitt ring of an algebra with involution. We also describe a less powerful version of this construction for unitary involutions, which still defines a ring, but with a grading over Z instead of the Klein group. We first describe a general framework for defining graded rings out of monoidal functors from monoidal categories with strong symmetry properties to categories of modules. We then give a description of such a strongly symmetric category Brₕ(K, ι) which encodes the usual hermitian Morita theory of algebras with involutions over a field K. We can therefore apply the general framework to Brₕ(K, ι) and theWitt group functors to define our mixed Witt rings, and derive their basic properties, including explicit formulas for products of diagonal forms in terms of involution trace forms, explicit computations for the case of quaternion algebras, and reciprocity formulas relative to scalar extensions. We intend to describe in future articles further properties of those rings, such as a λ-ring structure, and relations with theMilnor conjecture and the theory of signatures of hermitian forms.
