Abstract
It has been pointed out to us by P. M. Cohn that in the proof of Lemma 2 the tacit assumption is made that J is a closed ideal. It is assumed, namely, that since x3 commutes modulo J with all monomials it will therefore commute modulo J with all formal power series. Since J is not closed this need not be true in general. Thus Lemma 2 should be deleted, and hence also Propositions 1 and 2 and Corollary 1. The results of the remainder of the paper are independent and are believed to be correct. Also note that in the proof of Lemma 3 the contents of the first bracket should be xyx2y.
