On multiplicative (generalized)-derivations in prime and semiprime rings

Let R be a ring. A map ${F : R \rightarrow R}$ F : R → R is called a multiplicative (generalized)-derivation if F(xy) = F(x)y + xg(y) is fulfilled for all ${x, y \in R}$ x , y ∈ R where ${g : R \rightarrow R}$ g : R → R is any map (not necessarily derivation). The main objective of the present paper is to study the following situations: (i) ${F(xy) \pm xy \in Z}$ F ( xy ) ± xy ∈ Z , (ii) ${F(xy) \pm yx \in Z}$ F ( xy ) ± yx ∈ Z , (iii) ${F(x)F(y) \pm xy \in Z}$ F ( x ) F ( y ) ± xy ∈ Z and (iv) ${F(x)F(y) \pm yx \in Z}$ F ( x ) F ( y ) ± yx ∈ Z for all x, y in some appropriate subset of R. Moreover, some examples are also given.     

Orthogonal generalized (σ, τ)-derivations of semiprime rings

This paper abstracts some results of M. Bresar and J. Vukman [1] on the orthogonal derivations of semiprime rings to (σ, τ)-derivations and generalized (σ, τ)-derivations.     

Distributive semiprime rings

It is proved that a right distributive semiprime PI ringA is a left distributive ring and for each elementx ∈A there is a positive integern such thatx ⁿ A=Ax ⁿ . We describe both right distributive right Noetherian rings algebraic over the center of the ring and right distributive left Noetherian PI rings. We also characterize rings all of whose Pierce stalks are right chain right Artin rings. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 58, No. 5, pp. 736–761, November, 1995.     

Prime and semiprime lattice ordered lie algebras

The concepts of prime Lie algebras and semiprime Lie algebras are important in the study of Lie algebras. The purpose of this paper is to investigate generalizations of these concepts to lattice ordered Lie algebras over partially ordered fields. Some results concerning the properties of l-prime and l-semiprime lattice ordered Lie algebras are obtained. A necessary and sufficient condition for a lattice ordered Lie algebra to be an l-prime Lie l-algebra is presented.     

Jacobson radical of skew polynomial rings and skew group rings

LetR be a ring and σ an automorphism ofR. We prove the following results: (i)J(R _σ[x])={Σ_ir_i x ⁱ:r₀∈I∩J(R]), r _i∈I for alliε 1} whereI↪ {r∈R:rx ∈J(R _Σ[x])|s= (ii)J(R _σ<x>)=(J(R _σ<x>)∩R)_σ<x>. As an application of the second result we prove that ifG is a solvable group such thatG andR, + have disjoint torsions thenJ(R)=0 impliesJ(R(G))=0.     

Derivations with engel conditions in prime and semiprime rings

Let R be a prime ring, I a nonzero ideal of R, d a derivation of R and m, n fixed positive integers. (i) If (d[x, y]) ^m = [x, y] _n for all x, y ∈ I, then R is commutative. (ii) If Char R ≠ 2 and [d(x), d(y)] _m = [x, y] ⁿ for all x, y ∈ I, then R is commutative. Moreover, we also examine the case when R is a semiprime ring.
