A commutativity condition fors-unital rings

Abstract

LetR be ans-unital ring, and we prove a commutativity theorem ofR satisfying the following conditions: (1) For eachx, y εR, there exist bounded positive integersk=k(x,y), s=s(x,y), t=t(x,y) (where, at least one ofk, s, t is not equal to 1) such that (xy)k=x^sy^t, (xy)k+1=x^s+1y^t+1; (2)N, the set of all nilpotent elements ofR, isp-torsion free, wherep is the L. C. M. (least common multiple) of allk, s, t.

Keywords
