Abstract

Let $D$ be a division ring with uncountable center $C$. Suppose that \( K \) is a sub-division ring of \( D \) containing $C$ and that \( a \in D \setminus C \). The purpose of this paper is to prove that if either \( axa^{-1}x^{-1} \) or \( xy - yx \) is right algebraic over \( K \) for all \( x, y \in D \setminus \{0\} \), then \( D \) is also right algebraic over \( K \). This result provides the affirmative answers to [8, Problems 1 and 5] for division rings with uncountable center.
