maybe an edit will fix the kitty bug
Aug 23, 2011 at 11:01 comment added Pasha Zusmanovich @Qiaochu: A fruitful approach to identities of algebras is first to superize the situation (by injecting signs appropriately) and then go back from superalgebras to algebras via the Grassmann envelope. Maybe this approach may help when considering identities of algebras in the signature (binary multiplication, $\square$).
Aug 19, 2011 at 10:54 comment added Pasha Zusmanovich @probably: Ok, yes, that's true.
Aug 17, 2011 at 12:41 comment added probably Matrix algebras with operation $\Box$ from the initial question are nonassociative, therefore if there are no identities then this variety will contain absolutely free nonassociative algebra?
Aug 17, 2011 at 12:15 comment added Pasha Zusmanovich @probably: It will contain an absolutely free associative algebra (as all algebras generating the variety are associative).

Aug 8, 2011 at 19:06 comment added Pasha Zusmanovich I don't know. Sure, this argument is valid only when we consider identitites in $\square$ only.
Aug 8, 2011 at 18:48 comment added Qiaochu Yuan What can we say if we include the transpose as a basic operation? For example, we now have the identity $(a \Box b)^T = a b^T + b^T a^T = a \Box (b^T)$.
