Cocentralizing and vanishing derivations on multilinear polynomials in prime rings

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2 and extended centroid C and let f(x1,..., x _n ) be a multilinear polynomial over C not central-valued on R, while δ is a nonzero derivation of R. Suppose that d and g are derivations of R such that

$\delta (d(f(r_1 , \ldots ,r_n ))f(r_1 , \ldots ,r_n ) - f(r_1 , \ldots ,r_n )g(f(r_1 , \ldots ,r_n ))) = 0$

for all r1,..., r _n ∈ R. Then d and g are both inner derivations on R and one of the following holds: (1) d = g = 0; (2) d = ?g and f(x ₁,..., x _n )² is central-valued on R.

     

Automorphisms of ore extensions by skew derivations

Let R be a prime ring and δ a σ-derivation of R, where σ is an automorphism of R. Our aim (Theorem 1) is to determine any automorphism S of R[t;σ,δ] satisfying S(A)?R for a one-sided ideal A≠0 of R by dropping the assumption t∈R[t;σ,δ]. As an application, if R is a domain, it is shown that any X-inner automorphism of R[t;σ,δ] stabilizes R.     

Vanishing power values of commutators with derivations

Let R be a prime ring of char R ≠ 2, let d be a nonzero derivation of R, and let ρ be a nonzero right ideal of R such that [[d(x)x ⁿ , d(y)] _m , [y, x] _s ] ^t = 0 for all x, y ? ρ, where n ≥ 1, m ≥ 0, s ≥ 0, and t ≥ 1 are fixed integers. If [ρ, ρ]ρ ≠ 0 then d(ρ)ρ = 0.     

Vanishing and cocentralizing generalized derivations on Lie ideals

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, U its right Utumi quotient ring, C its extended centroid and L a not central Lie ideal of R. Suppose that F, G and H are generalized derivations of R, with F≠0, such that F(G(x)x?xH(x)) = 0, for any x∈L. In this paper we describe all possible forms of F, G and H.     

Strong commutativity preserving generalized derivations on Lie ideals

We apply elementary matrix computations and the theory of differential identities to prove the following: let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C and L a noncommutative Lie ideal of R. Suppose that f?:?L?→?R is a map and g is a generalized derivation of R such that [f(x),?g(y)]?=?[x,?y] for all x,?y?∈?L. Then there exist a nonzero α?∈?C and a map μ?:?L?→?C such that g(x)?=?αx for all x?∈?R and f(x)?=?α^?1 x?+?μ(x) for all x?∈?L, except when R???M ₂(F), the 2?×?2 matrix ring over a field F.     

On derivations of algebras with involution

Summary Let X be a complex Hilbert space, let L(X) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X, and let A(X) ⊂ L(X) be a standard operator algebra, which is closed under the adjoint operation. Suppose there exists a linear mapping D: A(X) → L(X) satisfying the relation D(AA*A) = D(A) A*A + AD(A*)A + AA*D(A), for all A ∈ A(X). In this case D is of the form D(A) = AB-BA, for all A∈ A(X) and some B ∈ L(X), which means that D is a derivation. We apply this result to semisimple H*-algebras.

In this paper, we examine the Hyers-Ulam, the Isac and Rassias-type stability and the Bourgin-type superstability of a functional inequality corresponding to the following functional equation, respectively:

     

Strong commutativity-preserving generalized derivations on semiprime rings

Let R be a ring with a subset S. A mapping of R into itself is called strong commutativitypreserving （scp） on S, if [f（x）, f（y）] = [x, y] for all x, y ∈ S. The main purpose of this paper is to describe the structure of the generalized derivations which are scp on some ideals and right ideals of a prime ring, respectively. The semiprime case is also considered.
