In papers near my field, the term "quasi-nilpotent" means an element $x$ such that $1-xy$ is a unit whenever $y$ commutes with $x$. That's the trouble with unclear modifiers like "quasi", they can mean about anything. | |

| Sep 15, 2017 at 16:42 | comment | added | Pace Nielsen | What you call "quasinilpotence" is more commonly called "nil of bounded index". (I wrote a paper on such things called "Nilpotent ideals in polynomial and power series rings" but many of the results are for non-commutative rings. You might still take a look.) | |
