Title:

Functional identities

Abstract:

A functional identity on an algebra $A$ is an identical relation that involves arbitrary elements from $A$ along with functions which are considered as unknowns. We will briefly survey the main results of the theory of functional identities and its applications, and at the end present new results obtained jointly with Špela Špenko and Claudio Procesi.
