Semisimple nil algebras of type δ

Tim Anderson and Erwin Kleinfeld

Vol. 76 (1978), No. 1, 9–16
Abstract

We prove that a finite dimensional semisimple nil algebra over a field F which satisfies the identity (1 + δ)z(x y) + (1 δ)(x y)z = x(y z) + y(x z), where δ F and δ 12, is anti-commutative. This result permits a further reduction in the problem of classifying those varieties of power-associative algebras over F having the property that squares of ideals are ideals and for which the nil algebras are not pathological.
