Generalized Derivations with Nilpotent Values on Semiprime Rings

Let R be a semiprime ring, RF be its left Martindale quotient ring and I be an essential ideal of R. Then every generalized derivation μ defined on I can be uniquely extended to a generalized derivation of RE. Furthermore, if there exists a fixed positive integer n such that μ(x)^n = 0 for all x∈I, then μ=0.     

Generalized derivations as Jordan homomorphisms on lie ideals and right ideals

Let R be a prime ring, L a non-central Lie ideal of R and g a non-zero generalized derivation of R. If g acts as a Jordan homomorphism on L, then either g（x） = x for all x ∈ R, or char（R） = 2, R satisfies the standard identity s4（x1, x2, x3, x4）, L is commutative and u2 ∈ Z（R）, for any u C L. We also examine some consequences of this result related to generalized derivations which act as Jordan homomorphisms on the set [I, I], where I is a non-zero right ideal of R.

Let R be a prime ring with a non-central Lie ideal L. In the present paper we show that if the composition DG of two generalized derivations D and G is zero on L, then DG must be zero on R. And we get all the possibilities for the composition of a couple of generalized derivations to be zero on a non-central Lie ideal of a prime ring.     

Triangular Matrix Representations of Rings of Generalized Power Series

Let R be a ring and S a cancellative and torsion-free monoid and 〈 a strict order on S. If either （S,≤） satisfies the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, or R is reduced, then the ring [[R^S,≤]] of the generalized power series with coefficients in R and exponents in S has the same triangulating dimension as R. Furthermore, if R is a PWP ring, then so is [[R^S,≤]].

In the present paper it is showed that if a(d(u~m) ± u~m)n= 0 for all u ∈ L, where m,n are fixed positive integers, then a = 0 unless R satisfies s_4, the standard polynomial identity in four variables.     

矩阵环中的一类极大的广义的Armendariz子环

An associative ring with identity R is called Armendariz if, whenever （∑^m i=0^aix^i）（∑^n j=0^bjx^j）=0 in R[x],aibj=0 for all i and j. An associative ring with identity is called reduced if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. In this paper, we define a general reduced ring （with or without identity） and a general Armendariz ring （with or without identity）, and identify a class of maximal general Armendariz subrings of matrix rings over general reduced rings.     

Notes on Automorphisms of Prime Rings

Let R be a prime ring, L a noncentral Lie ideal and σ a nontrivial automorphism of R such that usσ(u)ut= 0 for all u ∈ L, where s, t are fixed non-negative integers. If either char R s + t or char R = 0, then R satisfies s4, the standard identity in four variables. We also examine the identity(σ([x, y])-[x, y])n=0 for all x, y ∈ I, where I is a nonzero ideal of R and n is a fixed positive integer. If either char R n or char R = 0, then R is commutative.     

关于w-linked扩环

Let R ■ T be an extension of commutative rings.T is called w-linked over R if T as an R-module is a w-module.In the case of R ■ T ■ Q 0 （R）,T is called a w-linked overring of R.As a generalization of Wang-McCsland-Park-Chang Theorem,we show that if R is a reduced ring,then R is a w-Noetherian ring with w-dim（R） 1 if and only if each w-linked overring T of R is a w-Noetherian ring with w-dim（T ） 1.In particular,R is a w-Noetherian ring with w-dim（R） = 0 if and only if R is an Artinian ring.     

具有对称自同态的环及其扩张

Let R be a ring with an endomorphism α and an α-derivation δ. We introduce the notions of symmetric α-rings and weak symmetric α-rings which are generalizations of symmetric rings and weak symmetric rings, respectively, discuss the relations between symmetricα-rings and related rings and investigate their extensions. We prove that if R is a reduced ring and α(1) = 1, then R is a symmetric α-ring if and only if R[x]/(x n) is a symmetric ˉα-ring for any positive integer n. Moreover, it is proven that if R is a right Ore ring, α an automorphism of R and Q(R) the classical right quotient ring of R, then R is a symmetric α-ring if and only if Q(R) is a symmetric ˉα-ring. Among others we also show that if a ring R is weakly 2-primal and(α, δ)-compatible, then R is a weak symmetric α-ring if and only if the Ore extension R[x; α, δ] of R is a weak symmetric ˉα-ring.     

Principal Quasi-Baerness of Rings of Skew Generalized Power Series

Let R be a ring and （S, 〈） be a strictly totally ordered monoid satisfying that 0 〈 s for all s C S. It is shown that if A is a weakly rigid homomorphism, then the skew generalized power series ring [[RS,-〈, λ]] is right p.q.-Baer if and only if R is right p.q.-Baer and any S-indexed subset of S,（R） has a generalized join in S,（R）. Several known results follow as consequences of our results.     

Local Characterizations of Left Noetherian Rings and Left Ideals

Let R be a ring with identity, M a maximal ideal of R.Y. Lequain proved the following results in [1]: (a) R is a Noetherian ring every ideal contained in M is finitely generated. (b) R is a Dedekind domain every nonzero ideal contained in M isinvertible.

Maximal Quotient Rings of Endomorphisms of Quasigenerators

O.Preliminaries. Let R be an associative ring with identity, and let Mod-R denote the category of all unital right R-modules. A set of right ideal of R is called a Gabriel topology on R if satisfies T1. If I∈ and I J, then J∈. T2. If I and J belong to, then I∩J∈. T3. I∈ and r∈R, then (I:r)={x∈R:rx∈I}∈. T4. If I is a right ideal of R and there exists J∈ such that (I:r)∈ for every r∈J, then I∈.     

Some criteria for the Cohen-Macaulay property and local cohomology

Let a be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M be a finitely generated R-module of dimension d. We characterize Cohen-Macaulay rings in term of a special homological dimension. Lastly, we prove that if R is a complete local ring, then the Matlis dual of top local cohomology module Ha^d（M） is a Cohen-Macaulay R-module provided that the R-module M satisfies some conditions.     

Ideal-comparability over Regular Rings

We introduce the concept of ideal-comparability condition for regular rings. Let I be an ideal of a regular ring R. If R satisfies the I-comparability condition, then R is one-sided unit-regular if and only if so is R/I. Also, we show that a regular ring R satisfies the general comparability if and only if the following hold： （1） R/I satisfies the general comparability; （2） R satisfies the general I-comparability condition; （3） The natural map B（R） → B（R/I） is surjective.     

Generalized PP and Zip Subrings of Matrix Rings

Let R be an abelian ring. We consider a special subring An, relative to α2,…, αn∈ REnd（R）, of the matrix ring Mn（R） over a ring R. It is shown that the ring An is a generalized right PP-ring （right zip ring） if and only if the ring R is a generalized right PP-ring （right zip ring）. Our results yield more examples of generalized right PP-rings and right ziu rings.     

On Weakly Semicommutative Rings

A ring R is said to be weakly semicommutative if for any a,b∈R, ab=0 implies aRb（？）Nil（R）,where Nil（R） is the set of all nilpotent elements in R. In this note,we clarify the relationship between weakly semicommutative rings and NI-rings by proving that the notion of a weakly semicommutative ring is a proper generalization of NI-rings.We say that a ring R is weakly 2-primal if the set of nilpotent elements in R coincides with its Levitzki radical,and prove that if R is a weakly 2-primal ring which satisfiesα-condition for an endomorphismαof R（that is,ab=0（？）aα（b）=0 where a,b∈R） then the skew polynomial ring R[x;α] is a weakly 2-primal ring,and that if R is a ring and I is an ideal of R such that I and R/I are both weakly semicommutative then R is weakly semicommutative. Those extend the main results of Liang et al.2007（Taiwanese J.Math.,11（5）（2007）, 1359-1368） considerably.Moreover,several new results about weakly semicommutative rings and NI-rings are included.     

A Note on Commutators with Power Central Values on Lie Ideals

This note proves that, if R is a prime ring of characteristic 2 with d a derivation of R and L a noncentral Lie ideal of R such that [d（u）,u]^n is central, for all u ∈ L, then R must satisfy s4, the standard identity in 4 variables. The case where R is a semiprime ring is also examined by the authors. The results of the note improve Carini and Filippis＇s results.

In the present paper,we prove that if [di^2（u）, u] ∈ Z（R） or γ acts as a homomorphism （or an antihomomorphism） on U, then U Z（R）.     

LIE IDEALS, MORITA CONTEXT AND GENERALIZED （α β）-DERIVATIONS

A classical problem in ring theory is to study conditions under which a ring is forced to become commutative. Stimulated from Jacobson＇s famous result, several tech- niques are developed to achieve this goal. In the present note, we use a pair of rings, which are the ingredients of a Morita context, and obtain that if one of the ring is prime with the generalized （α β）-derivations that satisfy certain conditions on the trace ideal of the ring, which by default is a Lie ideal, and the other ring is reduced, then the trace ideal of the reduced ring is contained in the center of the ring. As an outcome, in case of a semi-projective Morita context, the reduced ring becomes commutative.
