Higher $R$-derivations of special subrings of matrix rings

On Jordan left derivations and generalized Jordan left derivations of matrix rings

Abstract. Let R be a 2-torsion free ring with identity. In this paper, first we prove that any Jordan left derivation (hence, any left derivation) on the full matrix ringMn(R) (n 2) is identically zero, and any generalized left derivation on this ring is a right centralizer. Next, we show that if R is also a prime ring and n 1, then any Jordan left derivation on the ring Tn(R) of all n×n uppe...

Higher derivations on rings and modules

Let τ be a hereditary torsion theory on ModR and suppose that Qτ : ModR → ModR is the localization functor. It is shown that for all R-modules M, every higher derivation defined on M can be extended uniquely to a higher derivation defined on Qτ(M) if and only if τ is a higher differential torsion theory. It is also shown that if τ is a TTF theory and Cτ : M →M is the colocalization functor, the...

Convergent Higher Derivations on Local Rings

Subrings of zero-dimensional rings

When Sarah Glaz, Bill Heinzer and the junior author of this article approached Robert with the idea of editing a book dedicated to his work, we asked him to give us a list of his work and to comment on it to the extent he felt comfortable. As usual, he was extremely thorough in his response. When the authors of this article began to consider what topic we wanted to write about, we were impresse...

Extending Higher Derivations to Rings and Modules of Quotients

A torsion theory is called differential (higher differential) if a derivation (higher derivation) can be extended from any module to the module of quotients corresponding to the torsion theory. We study conditions equivalent to higher differentiability of a torsion theory. It is known that the Lambek, Goldie and any perfect torsion theories are differential. We show that these classes of torsio...
