% Domain   : Group Theory
% Problem  : Associativity of commutator
% Version  : [MOW76] (equality) axioms : Augmented.
% English  : The commutator operation is associative if and only if the
%            commutator of any two elements lies in the center of the
%            group, i.e. [[X,Y],Z]=[X,[Y,Z]] iff [U,V]*W=W*[U,V].
