The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Theorem. Let R be a ring. Assume that for any two elements x and y in R, there exists an integral polynomial f(t)=t-t2g(x,y)(t) such that f(xy)=f(yx), then R is commutative. Corollary. If for any x and y in R, there exists an integer n(x,y)>1 such that xy-yx=(xy)n(x,y)-(yx)n(x,y), then R is commutative. This result generalized a theorem of Niu Fengwen and Guo Yuanchun (Jining University) and a well-known result of N. Jacobson. Note that I. N. Herstein obtained a well-known commutativity condition for any R, his condition is xy-yx=(xy-yx)n(x,y), where n(x,y)>1. กก กก |
