Prime radicals of constants of algebraic derivations

Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid F and let δ be an F-algebraic continuous derivation of R with the associated inner derivation ad(b). Factorize the minimal polynomial μ(λ) of b over F into distinct irreducible factors ${\mu(\lambda)=\prod_i\pi_i(\lambda)^{n_i}}$ . Set ? to be the maximum of n _i . Let ${R^{(\delta)}{\mathop{=}\limits^{{\rm def.}}}\{x\in R\mid \delta(x)=0\}}$ be the subring of constants of δ on R. Denote the prime radical of a ring A by ${{\mathcal{P}}(A)}$ . It is shown among other things that $${\mathcal{P}}(R^{(\delta)})^{2^\ell-1}=0\quad\text{and}\quad{\mathcal{P}}(R^{(\delta)})=R^{(\delta)}\cap {\mathcal{P}}(C_R(b))$$ .
