In abstract algebra , a commutant-associative algebra is a nonassociative algebra over a field whose multiplication satisfies the following axiom:
( [ A 1 , A 2 ] , [ A 3 , A 4 ] , [ A 5 , A 6 ] ) = 0 ,
where [A , B ] = AB − BA is the commutator of A and B and
(A , B , C ) = (AB )C – A (BC ) is the associator of A , B and C .
In other words, an algebra M is commutant-associative if the commutant, i.e. the subalgebra of M generated by all commutators [A , B ], is an associative algebra.
