Graded group actions and generalized $H$-actions compatible with gradings

Abstract

We introduce the notion of a graded group action on a graded algebra or, which is the same, a group action by graded pseudoautomorphisms. An algebra with such an action is a natural generalization of an algebra with a super- or a pseudoinvolution. We study groups of graded pseudoautomorphisms, show that the Jacobson radical of a group graded finite dimensional associative algebra $A$ over a field of characteristic $0$ is stable under graded pseudoautomorphisms, prove the invariant version of the Wedderburn-Artin Theorem and the analog of Amitsur's conjecture for the codimension growth of graded polynomial $G$-identities in such algebras $A$ with a graded action of a group $G$.
