Jacobson’s theorem on derivations of primitive rings with nonzero socle: a proof and applications

Characterization of $delta$-double derivations on rings and algebras

The main purpose of this article is to offer some characterizations of $delta$-double derivations on rings and algebras. To reach this goal, we prove the following theorem:Let $n > 1$ be an integer and let $mathcal{R}$ be an $n!$-torsion free ring with the identity element $1$. Suppose that there exist two additive mappings $d,delta:Rto R$ such that $$d(x^n) =Sigma^n_{j=1} x^{n-j}d(x)x^{j-1}+Si...

A new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity

To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...

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 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...
