Abstract

Let KK be a unital associative and commutative ring and let KXK \langle X \rangle be the free unital associative KK-algebra on a non-empty set XX of free generators. Define a left-normed commutator [a1,a2,,an][a_1, a_2, \dots , a_n] inductively by [a1,a2]=a1a2a2a1[a_1, a_2] = a_1 a_2 - a_2 a_1, [a1,,an1,an]=[[a1,,an1],an][a_1, \dots , a_{n-1}, a_n] = [[a_1, \dots , a_{n-1}], a_n] (n3)(n \ge 3). For n2n \ge 2, let T(n)T^{(n)} be the two-sided ideal in KXK \langle X \rangle generated by all commutators [a1,a2,,an][a_1,a_2, \dots , a_n] (aiKX)( a_i \in K \langle X \rangle ). It can be easily seen that the ideal T(2)T^{(2)} is generated (as a two-sided ideal in KXK \langle X \rangle) by the commutators [x1,x2][x_1, x_2] (xiX)(x_i \in X). It is well-known that T(3)T^{(3)} is generated by the polynomials [x1,x2,x3][x_1,x_2,x_3] and [x1,x2][x3,x4]+[x1,x3][x2,x4][x_1,x_2][x_3,x_4] + [x_1,x_3][x_2,x_4] (xiX)(x_i \in X). A similar generating set for T(4)T^{(4)} contains 3 types of polynomials in xiXx_i \in X if 13K\frac{1}{3} \in K and 5 types if 13K\frac{1}{3} \notin K. In the present article we exhibit a generating set for T(5)T^{(5)} that contains 8 types of polynomials in xiXx_i \in X.
