Let A be a non-associative algebra over a field. The associatorMathworldPlanetmath of A, denoted by [,,], is a trilinear (http://planetmath.org/multilinear) map from A×A×A to A given by:

[a,b,c]=(ab)c-a(bc).

Just as the commutatorMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath measures how close an algebraMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath is to being commutativePlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath, the associator measures how close it is to being associative. [,,]=0 identically iff A is associative.
