Köthe's Problem, Kurosch-Levitzki Problem and Graded Rings

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{R}$ be an associative ring graded by left cancellative monoid $\mathsf{S}$, and $e$ the neutral element of $\mathsf{S}$. We study the following problem: if ${\mathfrak{R}}_e$ is nil, then is $\mathfrak{R}$ nil/nilpotent? We have proved that if ${\mathfrak{R}}_e$ is nil (of bounded index) and $\mathsf{f}$- commutative, then $\mathfrak{R}$ is nil (of bounded index). Later, we have shown that ${\mathfrak{R}}_e$ being nilpotent implies $\mathfrak{R}$ is nilpotent. Consequently, we have exhibited a generalization of Dubnov-Ivanov-Nagata-Higman Theorem for the graded algebras case. Furthermore, we have exhibited relations between graded rings and the problems of Köthe and Kurosh-Levitzki. We have proved that graded rings and $\mathsf{f}$-commutative rings provide positive solutions to these problems.
