Definition

Suppose R is a non-associative ring (i.e., a not necessarily associative ring) with multiplication *. Denote by a the associator of R, i.e., a(x,y,z):=((x*y)*z)−(x*(y*z)). The Kleinfeld function of R is a function f from R4 to R defined as follows:

f(w,x,y,z):=a(w*x,y,z)−(x*a(w,y,z))−(a(x,y,z)*w)
