Abstract:

In this note we shall prove that if $A$ is a not necessarily associative algebra over a field $K$ and $R$ is a simple subring of $A$ with centroid $F$ then ${\dim _F}R \leqslant {\dim _K}A$. Since we do not use polynomial identities in a proof of this result then we have obtained an affirmative answer to the 11th question from $[2]$, posed by I. N. Herstein.
