Abstract
Subject to a certain restriction on the additive group of an alternative ring A, we prove that R(A)=R(A(+)), where A(+) is a Jordan ring and R is one of the following radicals: the Jacobson radical, the upper nil-radical, the locally nilpotent radical, or the lower nil-radical. For the proof of these relationships Herstein's well-known construction for associative rings is generalized to alternative rings.
