On the commutativity of some class of rings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Extract
Throughout, R will denote an associative ring with center Z. For elements x, y of R and k a positive integer, we define inductively [x, y]0 = x, [x, y] = [x, y]1 = xy − yx, [x, y, y, hellip, y]k = [[x, y, y, hellip, y]k−1, y]. A ring R is said to satisfy the k-th Engel condition if [x, y, y, hellip, y]k = 0. By an integral domain we mean a nonzero ring without nontrivial zero divisors.
