Centralizers on prime and semiprime rings

The purpose of this paper is to investigate identities satisfied by centralizers on prime and semiprime rings. We prove the following result: Let R be a noncommutative prime ring of characteristic different from two and let S and T be left centralizers on R. Suppose that [S(x), T (x)]S(x) + S(x)[S(x), T (x)] = 0 is fulfilled for all x ∈ R. If S 6= 0 (T 6= 0) then there exists λ from the extende...

MATH 436 Notes: Rings

1 Rings Definition 1.1 (Rings). A ring R is a set with two binary operations + and · called addition and multiplication respectively such that: (1) (R, +) is an Abelian group with identity element 0. (2) (R, ·) is a monoid with identity element 1. (3) Multiplication distributes over addition: a · (b + c) = a · b + a · c and (b + c) · a = b · a + c · a for all a, b, c ∈ R. A ring is called commu...

Remarks on Generalized Derivations in Prime and Semiprime Rings

Let R be a ring with center Z and I a nonzero ideal of R. An additive mapping F : R → R is called a generalized derivation of R if there exists a derivation d : R → R such that F xy F x y xd y for all x, y ∈ R. In the present paper, we prove that if F x, y ± x, y for all x, y ∈ I or F x ◦ y ± x ◦ y for all x, y ∈ I, then the semiprime ring R must contains a nonzero central ideal, provided d I /...

Centralizers on semiprime rings

The main result: Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring and let T : R → R be an additive mapping. Suppose that T (xyx) = xT (y)x holds for all x, y ∈ R. In this case T is a centralizer.
