A question of Joseph Ritt from the point of view of vertex algebras

Abstract: Let

k

be a field of characteristic zero. This paper studies a problem proposed by Joseph F. Ritt in 1950. Precisely, we prove that (1) If

p g e q 2

is an integer, for every integer

i i n m a t h b b N

, the nilpotency index of the image of

T_{i}

in the ring

k T / [T^{p}]

equals

(i + 1) p - i

. (2) For every pair of integers

(i, j)

, the nilpotency index of the image of

T_{i} U_{j}

in the ring

k T / [T U]

equals

i + j + 1

.
