Generalized right alternative rings

Irvin Roy Hentzel

Vol. 60 (1975), No. 2, 95–102
Abstract

We show that weakening the hypotheses of right alternative rings to the three identities

  1. (ab,c,d) + (a,b,[c,d]) = a(b,c,d) + (a,c,d)b
  2. (a,a,a) = 0
  3. ([a,b],b,b) = 0

for all a, b, c, d in the ring will not lead to any new simple rings. In fact, the ideal generated by each associator of the form (a,b,b) is a nilpotent ideal of index at most three. Our proofs require characteristic 2, 3.
