Let R be a ring and S a nonempty subset of R. A mapping f: R → R is called commuting on S if [f(x),x] = 0 for all x ∈ S. In this paper, firstly, we generalize the well-known result of Posner related to commuting derivations on prime rings. Secondly, we show that if R is a semiprime ring and I is a nonzero ideal of R, then a derivation d of R is commuting on I if one of the following conditions holds: (i) For all x, y ∈ I, either d([x,y]) = [x,y] or d([x,y]) = -[x,y]. (ii) For all x, y ∈ I, either d(x ◦ y) = x ◦ y or d(x ◦ y) = -(x ◦ y). (iii) R is 2-torsion free, and for all x, y ∈ I, either [d(x),d(y)] = d([x,y]) or [d(x),d(y)] = d([y,x]). Furthermore, if d(I) ≠ {0}, then R has a nonzero central ideal. Finally, we introduce the notation of generalized biderivation and prove that every generalized biderivation on a noncommutative prime ring is a biderivation.
Abstract. Let R be a prime ring, I a nonzero ideal of R, d a derivation of R and n a fixed positive integer.then R is commutative. We also examine the case where R is a semiprime ring.
Let K be a commutative ring with unity, R a non-commutative prime K-algebra with center Z(R), U the Utumi quotient ring of R, C=Z(U) the extended centroid of R, I a non-zero two-sided ideal of R, H and G non-zero generalized derivations of R. Suppose that f(x1,…,xn) is a non-central multilinear polynomial over K such that H(f(X))f(X)-f(X)G(f(X))=0 for all X=(x1,…,xn)∈ In. Then one of the following holds: (1) There exists a ∈ U such that H(x)=xa and G(x)=ax for all x ∈ R. (2) f(x1,…,xn)2 is central valued on R and there exist a, b ∈ U such that H(x)=ax+xb and G(x)=bx+xa for all x ∈ R. (3) char (R)=2 and R satisfies s4, the standard identity of degree 4.
