Extract

In (1) A. H. Boers has studied the properties of n-PA rings, i.e. rings where any n-product (any product of n factors) is independent of its bracketing; a private communication is quoted in that paper to the effect that the n-PA rings were defined by Y. Ilamed starting from problems in mathematical physics.
