### Abstract

We study the structure of right regular commutators, and call a ring $R$ {\it strongly $C$-regular} if $ab-ba\in (ab-ba)^2R$ for any $a, b\in R$. We first prove that a noncommutative strongly $C$-regular domain is a division algebra generated by all commutators; and that a ring (possibly without identity) is strongly $C$-regular if and only if it is Abelian $C$-regular (from which we infer that strong $C$-regularity is left-right symmetric). It is proved that for a strongly $C$-regular ring $R$, (i) if $R/W(R)$ is commutative, then $R$ is commutative; and (ii) every prime factor ring of $R$ is either a commutative domain or a noncommutative division ring, where $W(R)$ is the Wedderburn radical of $R$.
