Hypercommuting values in associative rings with unity.

From MaRDI portal





Let \(R\) be a unital algebra over a commutative unital ring. Assume that \(\text{char}(R)\neq 2\) and that \(R\) has no nonzero nil right ideal. The paper considers a multilinear polynomial \(f=f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\) with the property that for all \(r,r_1,\ldots,r_m\in R\) there exist \(m,k\geq 1\) such that \([r^m,f(r_1,\ldots,r_n)]_k=0\). It is shown that if \(\text{char}(R)=0\) then \(f\) is central-valued on \(R\). The conclusion is different if \(\text{char}(R)=p>2\): if \(f\) is not an identity of \(p\times p\) matrices (in characteristic \(p\)), then \(R\) satisfies the standard identity \(s_{n+2}\) and for all \(r_1,\ldots,r_n\in R\) there exist \(t\geq 1\) such that \(f^{p^t}(r_1,\ldots,r_n)\) lies in the center of \(R\).
