Abstract
LetG be a finite group and letR=Σ g∈G R g be any associative algebra over a field such that the subspacesR g satisfyR g R h ⊆R gh . We prove that ifR 1 satisfies a PI of degreed, thenR satisfies a PI of degree bounded by an explicit function ofd and the order ofG. This result implies the following: ifH is a finite-dimensional semisimple commutative Hopfalgebra andR is anyH-module algebra withR H satisfying a PI of degreed, thenR satisfies a PI of degree bounded by an explicit function ofd and the dimension ofH.
