Commutative rings with homomorphic power functions

A (commutative) ring R (with identity) is called m-linear (for an integer m≥2) if (a+b)m=am+bm for all a and b in R. The m-linear reduced rings are characterized, with special attention to the finite case. A structure theorem reduces the study of m-linearity to the case of prime characteristic, for...
