Lie Ideals and Generalized Derivations in Semiprime Rings

Let R be a 2-torsion free ring and L a Lie ideal of R. An additive mapping F : R ! R is called a generalized derivation on R if there exists a derivation d : R to R such that F(xy) = F(x)y + xd(y) holds for all x y in R. In the present paper we describe the action of generalized derivations satisfying several conditions on Lie ideals of semiprime rings.

Notes on Generalized Derivations on Lie Ideals in Prime Rings

Let R be a prime ring, H a generalized derivation of R and L a noncommutative Lie ideal of R. Suppose that usH(u)ut = 0 for all u ∈ L, where s ≥ 0, t ≥ 0 are fixed integers. Then H(x) = 0 for all x ∈ R unless char R = 2 and R satisfies S4, the standard identity in four variables. Let R be an associative ring with center Z(R). For x, y ∈ R, the commutator xy− yx will be denoted by [x, y]. An add...

A note on derivations in semiprime rings

We prove in this note the following result. Let n > 1 be an integer and let R be an n!torsion-free semiprime ring with identity element. Suppose that there exists an additive mapping D : R→ R such that D(xn) =∑nj=1 xn− jD(x)x j−1is fulfilled for all x ∈ R. In this case, D is a derivation. This research is motivated by the work of Bridges and Bergen (1984). Throughout, R will represent an associ...

On Generalized Derivations of Semiprime Rings

Let F be a commuting generalized derivation, with associated derivation d, on a semiprime ring R. We show that d(x)[y, z] = 0 for all x, y, z ∈ R and d is central. We define and characterize dependent elements of F and investigate a decomposition of R relative to F . Mathematics Subject Classification: 16N60, 16W25
