% Domain : Group Theory (Cancellative Semigroups)
% Problem : Prove nilpotent implies associativity in cancellative semigroup
% Version : [EF+02] axioms.
% English : Assume a cancellative semigroup admits a commutator operation.
% Then the following three properties are equivalent:
% (1) commutator is associative;
% (2) commutator distributes over product;
% (3) the semigroup is nilpotent of class 2.
% This is a generalization of the corresponding theorem for group
% theory. The problem here is to prove (1) implies (2).
