Two elementary commutativity theorems for generalized Boolean rings (Q1363360)

Let \(R\) be an associative ring with unity satisfying the identity \([x^m-x^n,y]=0\). The author proves the commutativity of \(R\) if \(R\) satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) \(m\), \(n\) are relatively prime integers, one of which is even; (ii) \(R\) is a 2-torsion free ring and \(m=2^k(q+1)\), \(n=2^k\cdot q\).
