| Aug 5, 2010 at 15:31 | comment | added | Andreas Thom | I was thinking about the other direction of my claim about zero-divisors and nilpotent elements. In fact I was just explaining some detail of Passman's argument that you mentioned already in your comment. | |
| Aug 5, 2010 at 15:23 | comment | added | Victor Protsak | You say: "The other direction is obvious". The question asked about a possible equivalence between zero divisor conjecture and idempotent conjecture. How does existence of non-trivial nilpotents imply existence of non-trivial idempotents (elements $e$ other than $0,1$ satisfying $e^2=e$)? | |
