On Commutativity and Centrality in Infinite Rings
2007
Communications in Algebra
We show that if R is an infinite ring such that XY ∩ YX = for all infinite subsets X and Y , then R is commutative. We also prove that in an infinite ring R, an element a ∈ R is central if and only if aX ∩ Xa = for all infinite subsets X. 1323 1324 ABDOLLAHI ET AL. Theorem 2. An element a of an infinite ring R is central if and only if aX ∩ Xa = for every infinite subset X of R. PRELIMINARIES We begin by disposing of some notational matters. If R is a ring, the symbols Z, N , T R , C R , and P
