In an alternative ring, when is the product of torsion units a torsion unit? We answer this question completely for alternative division rings, vector matrix algebras, and loop algebras.

β¦ Synopsis
The associator is an alternating trilinear product for any alternative algebra. We study this trilinear product in three related algebras: the associator in a free alternative algebra, the associator in the Cayley algebra, and the ternary cross product on four-dimensional space. This last example is isomorphic to the ternary subalgebra of the Cayley algebra which is spanned by the non-quaternion basis elements. We determine the identities of degree β€ 7 satisfied by these three ternary algebras. We discover two new identities in degree 7 satisfied by the associator in every alternative algebra and five new identities in degree 7 satisfied by the associator in the Cayley algebra. For the ternary cross product we recover the ternary derivation identity in degree 5 introduced by Filippov.

## Abstract We prove that Wilkie's identity holds in those natural HSIβalgebras where each element has finite decomposition into components. Further, we construct a bunch of HSIβalgebras that satisfy all the identities of the set of positive integers β. Then, based on the constructed algebras, we
## Abstract A logarithmic residue is a contour integral of the (left or right) logarithmic derivative of an analytic Banach algebra valued function. Logarithmic residues are intimately related to sums of idempotents. The present paper is concerned with logarithmic residues in a specific Banach alge
A duality is established between left and right ideals of a finite dimensional Grassmann algebra such that if under the duality a left ideal α£ and a right ideal J correspond then α£ is the left annihilator of J and J the right annihilator of α£. Another duality is established for two-sided ideals of t
Let A be a commutative C U -algebra with identity and open unit ball B. We study holomorphic functions F: B Βͺ B that are idempotent under composition and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a set R : B to be the image Ε½ of B under such an idempotent function. In other words, R is a hol
