Uniform black-box noncommutative identity testing across characteristics

For each characteristic, constructs in deterministic polynomial bit time a polynomial-dimensional matrix tuple detecting every nonzero division-free noncommutative formula of bounded size over any field of that characteristic. Rational formulas over ℚ also admit polynomial-size hitting lists whenever they have a defined rational-matrix evaluation.
