Commutativity theorems for certain rings with polynomial constraints

From MaRDI portal





This paper presents several theorems asserting commutativity of rings satisfying complicated and artificial commutator constraints. The following result is typical: Let \(p\), \(q\), \(r\) be nonnegative integers with \(r>1\), and let \(R\) be a ring with \(1\) such that \(r[x,y]=0\) implies \([x,y]=0\). If for each \(y\in R\) there exist \(f(t),g(t),h(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t]\) such that \(g(y)[x,f(y)]h(y)=x^p[x^r,y]y^q\) for all \(x\in R\), then \(R\) is commutative. The proof given for the above theorem does not work for \(p=0\); some other proofs have problems as well.
