$\mathbb{Z}$-graded polynomial identities of the Grassmann algebra

Abstract: Let $F$ be an infinite field of characteristic different from 2, and let $E$ be the Grassmann algebra of an infinite dimensional $F$-vector space $L$. In this paper we study the $\mathbb{Z}$-graded polynomial identities of $E$ with respect to certain $\mathbb{Z}$-grading such that the vector space $L$ is homogeneous in the grading. More precisely, we construct three types of $\mathbb{Z}$-gradings on $E$, denoted by $E^{\infty}$, $E^{k^\ast}$ and $E^{k}$, and we give the explicit form of the corresponding $\mathbb{Z}$-graded polynomial identities. We show that the homogeneous superalgebras $E_{\infty}$, $E_{k^\ast}$ and $E_{k}$ studied in \cite{disil} can be obtained from $E^{\infty}$, $E^{k^\ast}$ and $E^{k}$ as quotient gradings. Moreover we exhibit several other types of homogeneous $\mathbb{Z}$-gradings on $E$, and describe their graded identities.
