Throughout this paper R
will denote any associative ring (without necessarily 1) with a fixed subring A such
that for each element x of R, there is a polynomial gx(t) (depending on x) having
integral coefficients so that the element x − x2⋅ g(x) must be in A, say, R is a
co-radical extension of the ring A, or R is co-radical over A. In this paper it
is shown that if A is PI (ring with polynomial identity) then so must be
R.
