| contents | We study whether a unital associative algebra $ A $ over a field admits a decomposition of the form $A = Z(A) + [A,A]$ where $ Z(A) $ is the center of $ A $ and $ [A,A] $ denotes the additive subgroup of $A$ generated by all additive commutators of $A$. Among our main considerations are the cases in which $A$ is the matrix ring over a division ring, a generalized quaternion algebra, or a semisimple finite-dimensional algebra. We also discuss some applications that do not necessarily require the decomposition, such as the case where $ A $ is the twisted group algebra of a locally finite group over a field of characteristic zero: if all additive commutators of $A$ are central, then $ A $ must be commutative. |
