On existence of PI-exponent of algebras with involution
We study polynomial identities of algebras with involution of nonassociative algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that the growth of the sequence of $*$-codimensions of a finite-dimensional algebra is exponentially bounded. We construct a series of finite-dimensional algebras with fractional $*$-PI-exponent. We also construct a family of infinite-dimensional algebras $C_α$ such that ${\rm exp}^*(C_α)$ does not exist.
