On semiprime segments of rings

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.

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...

Dependent Elements of Derivations on Semiprime Rings

On Θ-centralizers of Semiprime Rings (ii)

The following result is proved: Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring, and let T : R → R be an additive mapping, related to a surjective homomorphism θ : R → R, such that 2T (x2) = T (x)θ(x) + θ(x)T (x) for all x ∈ R. Then T is both a left and a right θ-centralizer.

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
