The Levitzki radical, which is fundamental in the study of algebras satisfying a polynomial identity, has been shown to exist in the varieties of alternative and Jordan algebras (see Zhevlakov [8], Zwier [9], and Tsai [7]— for an important application of this radical to alternative algebras satisfying a polynomial identity, see Slater [6]). In fact, Hartley [4] even investigated local nilpotence for Lie algebras, though this property can not be radical in the sense of Kurosh-Amitsur [3] for these algebras.
