In mathematics, more specifically ring theory and the theory of nil ideals, Levitzky's theorem states that in a right Noetherian ring, every nil one-sided ideal is necessarily nilpotent.[1][2] Levitzky's theorem is one of the many results suggesting the veracity of the Köthe conjecture. The first proof of this theorem was due to Utumi.[3]
