Description
The theory of Cayley Hamilton algebras is an abstract treatment of the Cayley Hamilton Theorem for matrices. it gives a partial solution to a problem of Malcev to characterize rings which can be embedded in matrix algebras over commutative rings. It is also the natural framework to study by geometric invariant theory semisimple representations of algebras. I will discuss a recent result and some general questions.
