چکیده

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 associative ring with center Z(R). Given an integer n > 1, a ring R is said to be n-torsion-free if for x ∈ R, nx = 0 implies that x = 0. Recall that a ring R is prime if for a,b ∈ R, aRb = (0) implies that either a = 0 or b = 0, and is semiprime in case aRa= (0) implies that a= 0. An additive mapping D : R→ R is called a derivation if D(xy) = D(x)y + xD(y) holds for all pairs x, y ∈ R and is called a Jordan derivation in case D(x2) = D(x)x + xD(x) is fulfilled for all x ∈ R. Every derivation is a Jordan derivation. The converse is in general not true. A classical result of Herstein (1957) asserts that any Jordan derivation on a prime ring with characteristic different from two is a derivation. A brief proof of Herstein’s result can be found in 1988 by Brešar and Vukman. Cusack (1975) generalized Herstein’s result to 2-torsion-free semiprime rings (see also Brešar (1988) for an alternative proof). For some other results concerning derivations on prime and semiprime rings, we refer to Brešar (1989), Vukman (2005), Vukman and Kosi-Ulbl (2005).

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.

A note on a pair of derivations of semiprime rings

We study certain properties of derivations on semiprime rings. The main purpose is to prove the following result: let R be a semiprime ring with center Z(R), and let f , g be derivations of R such that f(x)x+xg(x) ∈ Z(R) for all x ∈ R, then f and g are central. As an application, we show that noncommutative semisimple Banach algebras do not admit nonzero linear derivations satisfying the above ...

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 $(1-e)U$. ...

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.
