A ring is called s–prime if the 2-sided annihilator of a nonzero ideal must be zero. In particular, any simple ring or prime (—1, 1) ring is s–prime. Also, a nonzero s–prime right alternative ring, with characteristic ≠ 2, cannot be right nilpotent. Let R be a right alternative ring with commutators in the left nucleus. Then R is associative in the following cases: (1) R is prime, with characteristic ≠ 2, and has an idempotent e ≠ 1 such that (e, e, R) = 0. (2) R is an algebra over a commutative-associative ring with 1/6, and R is either s–prime, or R is prime and locally (—1,1).

Let [Formula: see text] be an associative ring. Given a positive integer [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text] we define [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text]-generalized commutator of [Formula: see text]. By an [Formula: see text]-generalized Lie ideal of [Formula: see text] (at the [Formula: see text]th position with [Formula: see text]) we mean an additive subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] satisfying [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] and all [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. In the paper, we study [Formula: see text]-generalized commutators of rings and prove that if [Formula: see text] is a noncommutative prime ring and [Formula: see text], then every nonzero [Formula: see text]-generalized Lie ideal of [Formula: see text] contains a nonzero ideal. Therefore, if [Formula: see text] is a noncommutative simple ring, then [Formula: see text]. This extends a classical result due to Herstein [Generalized commutators in rings, Portugal. Math. 13 (1954) 137–139]. Some generalizations and related questions on [Formula: see text]-generalized commutators and their relationship with noncommutative polynomials are also discussed.

Some properties of the right nucleus in generalized right alternative rings have been presented in this paper. In a generalized right alternative ring R which is finitely generated or free of locally nilpotent ideals, the right nucleus Nr equals the center C. Also, if R is prime and Nr ¹ C, then the associator ideal of R is locally nilpotent. Seong Nam [5] studied the properties of the right nucleus in right alternative algebra. He showed that if R is a prime right alternative algebra of char. ≠ 2 and Right nucleus Nr is not equal to the center C, then the associator ideal of R is locally nilpotent. But the problem arises when it come with the study of generalized right alternative ring as the ring dose not absorb the right alternative identity. In this paper we consider our ring to be generalized right alternative ring and try to prove the results of Seong Nam [5]. At the end of this paper we give an example to show that the generalized right alternative ring is not right alternative.

It is well known and immediate that in an associative ring a nilpotent one-sided ideal generates a nilpotent two-sided ideal. The corresponding open question for alternative rings was raised by M. Slater [6, p. 476]. Hitherto the question has been answered only in the case of a trivial one-sided ideal J (i.e., in case J2 = 0) [5]. In this note we solve the question in its entirety by showing that a nilpotent one-sided ideal K of an alternative ring generates a nilpotent two-sided ideal. In the process we find an upper bound for the index of nilpotency of the ideal generated. The main theorem provides another proof of the fact that a semiprime alternative ring contains no nilpotent one-sided ideals. Finally we note the analogous result for locally nilpotent one-sided ideals.

An associative ring is called strongly right (left) bounded if every nonzero right (left) ideal contains a nonzero ideal. We prove that if R is a strongly right bounded finite ring with unity and the order |R| of R has no factors of the form p5, then R is strongly left bounded. This answers a question of Birkenmeier and Tucci.

AbstractIn this article, we define the concept of a Malcev ideal in an alternative ring in a manner analogous to Lie ideals in associative rings. By using a result of Kleinfield's we show that a nonassociative alternative ring of characteristic not 2 or 3 is a ring sum of Malcev ideals Z and [R, R] where Z is the center of R and [R, R] is a simple non-Lie Malcev ideal of R. If R is a Cayley algebra over a field F of characteristic 3 then [R, R] is a simple 7 dimensional Lie algebra. A similar result is obtained if R is a simple associative ring.

Let A be a right alternative algebra, and [A, A] be the linear span of all commutators in A. If [A, A] is contained in the left nucleus of A, then left nilpotence implies nilpotence. If [A, A] is contained in the right nucleus, then over a commutative-associative ring with 1/2, right nilpotence implies nilpotence. If [A, A] is contained in the alternative nucleus, then the following structure results hold: (1) If A is prime with characteristic ≠ 2, then A is either alternative or strongly (–1, 1). (2) If A is a finite-dimensional nil algebra, over a field of characteristic ≠ 2, then A is nilpotent. (3) Let the algebra A be finite-dimensional over a field of characteristic ≠ 2, 3. If A/K is separable, where K is the nil radical of A, then A has a Wedderburn decomposition

Let R be an associative ring with center Z(R) , I be a nonzero ideal of R and  be an automorphism  of R . An 3-additive mapping M:RxRxR R is called a symmetric left -3-centralizer if M(u1y,u2 ,u3)=M(u1,u2,u3)(y) holds for all  y, u1, u2, u3 R . In this paper , we shall investigate the  commutativity of prime rings admitting symmetric left -3-centralizer satisfying any one of the following conditions : (i)M([u ,y], u2, u3)  [(u), (y)] = 0 (ii)M((u ∘ y), u2, u3)  ((u) ∘ (y)) = 0 (iii)M(u2, u2, u3)  (u2) = 0 (iv) M(uy, u2, u3)  (uy) = 0 (v) M(uy, u2, u3)  (uy) For all u2,u3 R and u ,y I

Throughout this note, \(R\) denotes an associative ring and \(C(R)\) be the center of \(R\). In this paper, it isproved that a non-central Lie ideal \(L\) of a semiprime ring \(R\) contains a nonzero ideal of \(R\) and this result isused to obtain several commutativity theorems of \(R\) involving multiplicative derivations. Moreover, someresults on one-sided ideals of \(R\) are given.
