f-zpd algebras and a multilinear Nullstellensatz
Let $f=f(x_1,\dots,x_m)$ be a multilinear polynomial over a field $F$. An $F$-algebra $A$ is said to be $f$-zpd ($f$-zero product determined) if every $m$-linear functional $φ\colon A^{m}\rightarrow F$ which preserves zeros of $f$ is of the form $φ(a_1,\dots,a_m)=τ(f(a_1,\dots,a_m))$ for some linear functional $τ$ on $A$. We are primarily interested in
