Prime rings with pivotal monomial \(x^n\) (Q1808747)

In this short note, the authors determine the structure of prime rings satisfying a special pivotal monomial. Specifically, they prove that if \(R\) is a prime ring satisfying the property that for each \(r\in R\), \(r^n\) is contained in the right ideal generated by \(r^{n+1}\), where \(n>0\) is fixed, then \(R\) is isomorphic to \(M_k(D)\) for \(D\) a division ring and \(k\leq n\).
