Structure of weakly periodic rings with potent extended commutators
A well‐known theorem of Jacobson (1964, page 217) asserts that a ring R with the property that, for each x in R, there exists an integer n(x) > 1 such that xn(x) = x is necessarily commutative. This theorem is generalized to the case of a weakly periodic ring R with a “sufficient” number of potent extended commutators.

Generalized periodic and generalized Boolean rings
We prove that a generalized periodic, as well as a generalized Boolean, ring is either commutative or periodic. We also prove that a generalized Boolean ring with central idempotents must be nil or commutative. We further consider conditions which imply the commutativity of a generalized periodic, or a generalized Boolean, ring.

For prime rings R, we characterize the set U∩CR([U, U]), where U is a right ideal of R; and we apply our result to obtain a commutativity‐or‐finiteness theorem. We include extensions to semiprime rings.

On structure of certain periodic rings and near‐rings
The aim of this work is to study a decomposition theorem for rings satisfying either of the properties xy = xpf(xyx)xq or xy = xpf(yxy)xq, where p = p(x, y), q = q(x, y) are nonnegative integers and f(t) ∈ tℤ[t] vary with the pair of elements x, y, and further investigate the commutativity of such rings.

Commutativity results for semiprime rings with derivations
We extend a result of Herstein concerning a derivation d on a prime ring R satisfying [d(x), d(y)] = 0 for all x, y ∈ R, to the case of semiprime rings. An extension of this result is proved for a two‐sided ideal but is shown to be not true for a one‐sided ideal.

Commutativity of one sided s‐unital rings through a Streb′s result
The main theorem proved in the present paper states as follows “Let m, k, n and s be fixed non‐negative integers such that k and n are not simultaneously equal to 1 and R be a left (resp right) s‐unital ring satisfying [(xmyk)n−xsy,x]=0 (resp [(xmyk)n−yxs,x]=0) Then R is commutative.” Further commutativity of left s‐unital rings satisfying the ...

Let R be a ring, and let N and C denote the set of nilpotents and the center of R, respectively. R is called generalized periodic if for every x ∈ R\(N ⋃ C), there exist distinct positive integers m, n of opposite parity such that xn − xm ∈ N ⋂ C. We prove that a generalized periodic ring always has the set N of nilpotents forming an ideal in R.

Direct sums of J‐rings and radical rings
Let R be a ring, J(R) the Jacobson radical of R and P the set of potent elements of R. We prove that if R satisfies (∗) given x, y in R there exist integers m = m(x, y) > 1 and n = n(x, y) > 1 such that xmy = xyn and if each x ∈ R is the sum of a potent element and a nilpotent element, then N and P are ideals and R = N ⊕ P.

Let R be a ring, and let C denote the center of R. R is said to have a prime center if whenever ab belongs to C then a belongs to C or b belongs to C. The structure of certain classes of these rings is studied, along with the relation of the notion of prime centers to commutativity. An example of a non‐commutative ring with a prime center is given.
