Abstract
Let [Formula: see text] be a ring with 1. Given elements [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and the integer [Formula: see text] define [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We say that a given antiautomorphism [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is commuting if [Formula: see text], all [Formula: see text]. More generally, assume that [Formula: see text] satisfies the condition [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are corresponding positive integers depending on [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] ranges over [Formula: see text]. To what extent can one say that [Formula: see text] is commuting? In this paper, we answer the question in the affirmative if R is a prime ring containing some idempotent element [Formula: see text]. In the diametrically opposed case in which [Formula: see text] is a division ring the answer is again yes provided [Formula: see text] is algebraic over its center and [Formula: see text] is of finite order. These two major complementary results will be put to work to provide an answer to the general question.
