Sharpness conjecture for products of commutators in associative rings
Sharpness conjecture for products of commutators in associative rings
Let satisfy , and suppose that at least one of or is odd. Let denote the relevant subgroup or ideal generated by products of -fold commutators in a unital associative ring.
Sharpness conjecture. If , then there is a unital associative ring and elements such that
The claim asserts that, apart from the exceptional case , the coefficient in the preceding theorem cannot generally be removed. The cited discussion gives evidence for this sharpness, while the case is known to behave exceptionally.
