The following theorem is proved: Let D be a division ring such that for all x, y in D there exists a positive integer n = n(x, y) for which (xy)n − (yx)n is in the center of D. Then D is commutative. This theorem also holds for semisimple rings.

IfKis an infinite field andG⫅Kis a subgroup of finite index in an additive group, thenK∗=G∗G∗−1whereG∗denotes the set of all invertible elements inGandG∗−1denotes all inverses of elements ofG∗. Similar results hold for various fields, division rings and rings.
