Skew NN-Derivations on Semiprime Rings

For a ring $R$ with an automorphism $\sigma$, an $n$-additive mapping $\Delta:R\times R\times... \times R \rightarrow R$ is called a skew $n$-derivation with respect to $\sigma$ if it is always a $\sigma$-derivation of $R$ for each argument. Namely, it is always a $\sigma$-derivation of $R$ for the argument being left once $n-1$ arguments are fixed by $n-1$ elements in $R$. In this short note, starting from Bre\v{s}ar Theorems, we prove that a skew $n$-derivation ($n\geq 3$) on a semiprime ring $R$ must map into the center of $R$.Comment: 8 page

Generalized (; )-derivations and Left Ideals in Prime and Semiprime Rings

Let R be an associative ring, ; be the automorphisms of R, be a nonzero left ideal of R, F : R ! R be a generalized (; )-derivation and d : R ! Rbe an (; )-derivation. In the present paper we discuss the following situations: (i) F(xoy) = a(xy yx), (ii) F([x; y]) = a(xy yx), (iii) d(x)od(y) = a(xy yx) forall x; y 2 and a 2 f0; 1;ô€€€1g. Also some related results have been obtained

Automorphisms with annihilator condition in prime rings

Let R be a prime ring, I a nonzero ideal of R, and a ∈ R. Suppose that σ is a nontrivial automorphism of R such that a{(σ(x ∘ y))n − (x ∘ y)m} = 0 or a{(σ([x,y]))n − ([x,y])m} = 0 for all x,y ∈ I, where n and m are fixed positive integers. We prove that if char(R) > n + 1 or char(R) = 0, then either a = 0 or R is commutative

Generalized Derivations on Power Values of Lie Ideals in Prime and Semiprime Rings

LetRbe a 2-torsion free ring and letLbe a noncentral Lie ideal ofR, and letF:R→RandG:R→Rbe two generalized derivations ofR. We will analyse the structure ofRin the following cases: (a)Ris prime andF(um)=G(un)for allu∈Land fixed positive integersm≠n; (b)Ris prime andF((upvq)m)=G((vrus)n)for allu,v∈Land fixed integersm,n,p,q,r,s≥1; (c)Ris semiprime andF((uv)n)=G((vu)n)for allu,v∈[R,R]and fixed integern≥1; and (d)Ris semiprime andF((uv)n)=G((vu)n)for allu,v∈Rand fixed integern≥1
