nil and nilpotent ideals
An element x of a ring is nilpotent if xn=0 for some positive integer n.
A ring R is nil if every element in R is nilpotent. Similarly, a one- or two-sided ideal is called nil if each of its elements is nilpotent.
A ring R [resp. a one- or two sided ideal A] is nilpotent if Rn=0 [resp. An=0] for some positive integer n.
A ring or an ideal is locally nilpotent if every finitely generated subring is nilpotent.
The following implications hold for rings (or ideals):
