A subalgebra of the full matrix algebra M n (K) , K a field, satisfying the identity [ x 1 , y 1 ] [ x 2 , y 2 ] ⋯ [ x q , y q ] = 0 is called a D q subalgebra of M n (K). In the paper we deal with the structure, conjugation and isomorphism problems of maximal D q subalgebras of M n (K). We show that a maximal D q subalgebra A of M n (K) is conjugated with a block triangular subalgebra of M n (K) with maximal commutative diagonal blocks. By analysis of conjugations, the sizes of the obtained diagonal blocks are uniquely determined. It reduces the problem of conjugation of maximal D q subalgebras of M n (K) to the analogous problem in the class of commutative subalgebras of M n (K). Further examining conjugations, in case A is contained in the upper triangular matrix algebra U n (K) , we prove that A is already in a block triangular form. We consider the isomorphism problem in a certain class of maximal D q subalgebras of M n (K) which contain all D q subalgebras of M n (K) with maximum dimension. In case K is algebraically closed, we invoke Jacobson's characterization of maximal commutative subalgebras of M n (K) with maximum (K -)dimension to show that isomorphic subalgebras in this class are already conjugated. To illustrate it, we invoke results from [19] and find all isomorphism (equivalently conjugation) classes of D q subalgebras of M n (K) with maximum possible dimension, in case K is algebraically closed.
