On commutativity of left \(s\)-unital rings. (English) Zbl 0806.16034

Let \(R\) be an associative ring such that: 1) for each \(x \in R\), \(x \in Rx\); 2) \(R\) satisfies the identity \(x^ t[x^ n,y] = \pm y^ r[x, y^ m]y^ s\). The author proves that each of the following extra conditions implies the commutativity of \(R\): i) \(n > 1\) and if \(n[a,b] = 0\), \(a,b\in R\), then \([a,b] = 0\); ii) \(R\) is a semiprime ring and \(n > 0\); iii) \(m > 1\), \(n > 1\) and \((m,n) = 1\); iv) \(n = 1\) and \((t,m,r,s) \neq (0,1,0,0)\).
