Remarks on Generalized Derivations in Prime and Semiprime Rings

*-σ-biderivations on *-rings

Bresar in 1993 proved that each biderivation on a noncommutative prime ring is a multiple of a commutatot. A result of it is a characterization of commuting additive mappings, because each commuting additive map give rise to a biderivation. Then in 1995, he investigated biderivations, generalized biderivations and sigma-biderivations on a prime ring and generalized the results of derivations fo...

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.

Center--like subsets in rings with derivations or epimorphisms

We introduce center-like subsets Z*(R,f), Z**(R,f) and Z1(R,f), where R is a ring and f is a map from R to R. For f a derivation or a non-identity epimorphism and R a suitably-chosen prime or semiprime ring, we prove that these sets coincide with the center of R.

Derivations in semiprime rings and Banach algebras

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring with extended centroid $C$, $U$ the Utumi quotient ring of $R$ and $m,n>0$ are fixed integers. We show that if $R$ admits derivation $d$ such that $b[[d(x), x]_n,[y,d(y)]_m]=0$ for all $x,yin R$ where $0neq bin R$, then there exists a central idempotent element $e$ of $U$ such that $eU$ is commutative ring and $d$ induce a zero derivation on $(1-e)U$. ...

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...
