Jordan derivations of full matrix algebras

Let A be a unital associative ring and M be a 2-torsion free A-bimodule. Using an elementary and constructive method we show that every Jordan derivation from M_n(A) into M_n(M) is a derivation.     

Generalized Jordan derivations on triangular matrix algebras

In this note, we prove that every generalized Jordan derivation from the algebra of all upper triangular matrices over a commutative ring with identity into its bimodule is the sum of a generalized derivation and an antiderivation.     

Nonlinear Lie derivations of triangular algebras

In this paper we prove that every nonlinear Lie derivation of triangular algebras is the sum of an additive derivation and a map into its center sending commutators to zero.     

Nonlinear *-Lie-type derivations on standard operator algebras

Let \(\mathcal{H}\) be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and \(\mathcal{A}\) be a standard operator algebra on \(\mathcal{H}\) which is closed under the adjoint operation. It is shown that each nonlinear *-Lie-type derivation δ on \(\mathcal{A}\) is a linear *-derivation. Moreover, δ is an inner *-derivation as well.     

Local derivations of full matrix rings

Let \({\mathcal{R}}\) be a unital commutative ring and \({\mathcal{M}}\) be a 2-torsion free central \({\mathcal{R}}\) -bimodule. In this paper, for \({n \geqq 3}\), we show that every local derivation from M _n (\({\mathcal{R}}\)) into M _n (\({\mathcal{M}}\)) is a derivation.     

Nonlinear $$\ast$$-Lie-type derivations on von Neumann algebras

Let \({\mathcal{H}}\) be a complex Hilbert space, \({\mathcal{B(H)}}\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on \({\mathcal{H}}\) and \({\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{B(H)}}\) be a von Neumann algebra without nonzero central abelian projections. Let \({p_n(x_1,x_2 ,\ldots ,x_n)}\) be the commutator polynomial defined by n indeterminates \({x_1, \ldots , x_n}\) and their skew Lie products. It is shown that a mapping \({\delta \colon \mathcal{A} \longrightarrow \mathcal{B(H)}}\) satisfies

$$\delta(p_n(A_1, A_2 ,\ldots , A_n))=\sum_{k=1}^np_n(A_1 ,\ldots , A_{k-1}, \delta(A_k), A_{k+1} ,\ldots , A_n)$$

for all \({A_1, A_2 ,\ldots , A_n \in \mathcal{A}}\) if and only if \({\delta}\) is an additive *-derivation. This gives a positive answer to Conjecture 4.2 of [14].

     

Nonlinear *-Lie derivations of standard operator algebras

Let ? be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and 𝒜 be a standard operator algebra on ? which is closed under the adjoint operation. We prove that every nonlinear *-Lie derivation δ of 𝒜 is automatically linear. Moreover, δ is an inner *-derivation.     

Square-zero derivations of matrix algebras over commutative rings

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, M _n (R) the R-algebra consisting of all n by n matrices over R. In this article, for n ≥ 5 we classify linear maps φ from M _n (R) into itself satisfying φ(x)x + xφ(x) = 0 whenever x ² = 0. We call such maps as square-zero derivations.     

A characterisation of full matrix algebras

.

It is shown that (except for the case where F is the field of two elements) the only finite dimensional algebras over a field F which have the propertv that every non invertible element Can be expressed as a product of idempotents, are the full matrix algebras.     

A criterion for generating full matrix algebras

Let M_n(F) be the algebra of n×n matrices over a field F, and let A∈M_n(F) have characteristic polynomial c(x)=p₁(x)p₂(x)?p_r(x) where p₁(x),…,p_r(x) are distinct and irreducible in F[x]. Let X be a subalgebra of M_n(F) containing A. Under a mild hypothesis on the p_i(x), we find a necessary and sufficient condition for X to be M_n(F).
