Definition

A Malcev ring (also called a Moufang-Lie ring) is a non-associative ring (i.e., a not necessarily associative ring) M with multiplication * that satisfies the following two conditions:

  • The ring is an alternating ring: x*x=0xM
  • The multiplication satisfies the Malcev identity, i.e., the following is true for all x,y,zM:

(x*y)*(x*z)=(((x*y)*z)*x)+(((y*z)*x)*x)+(((z*x)*x)*y)
