Abstract |
|
Let R be a ring satisfying the following three defining relations: (i) (x,y2,x) = y ∘ (x,y,x), (ii) (x,y,z) + (y,z,x) + (z,x,y) = 0, and (iii) ((x,y),x,x) = 0, where (a,b,c) = (αb)c − a(bc), (a,b) = αb − ba, and a ∘ b = ab + ba. All three identities follow from commutativity, hence are true in Jordan rings. Besides (i) holds in Lie and alternative rings, (ii) holds in Lie and quasiassociative rings and in alternative rings of characteristic three, while (iii) holds in right alternative rings. The main result is that if R has characteristic ∓2,3 (that means no elements in R have additive order two or three) and no divisors of zero then R must be either associative or commutative. |
