Let $f$ be a non-commutative polynomial such that $f=0$ if we assume that the variables in $f$ commute. Let $Q(f)$ be the smallest $k$ such that there exist polynomials $g_1,g_1', g_2, g_2',\dots, g_k, g_k' $ with \[f\in I([g_1,g_1'], [g_2, g_2'],\dots, [g_k, g_k'] )\,,\]
where $[g,h]=gh-hg$. Then $Q(f)\leq {n\choose 2}$, where ... more >>>
