Onto inner derivations in division rings

Derivations in semiprime rings and Banach algebras

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring with extended centroid $C$, $U$ the Utumi quotient ring of $R$ and $m,n>0$ are fixed integers. We show that if $R$ admits derivation $d$ such that $b[[d(x), x]_n,[y,d(y)]_m]=0$ for all $x,yin R$ where $0neq bin R$, then there exists a central idempotent element $e$ of $U$ such that $eU$ is commutative ring and $d$ induce a zero derivation on $(1-e)U$. ...

Generalized Derivations of Prime Rings

Let R be an associative prime ring, U a Lie ideal such that u2 ∈ U for all u ∈ U . An additive function F : R→ R is called a generalized derivation if there exists a derivation d : R→ R such that F(xy)= F(x)y + xd(y) holds for all x, y ∈ R. In this paper, we prove that d = 0 or U ⊆ Z(R) if any one of the following conditions holds: (1) d(x) ◦F(y)= 0, (2) [d(x),F(y) = 0], (3) either d(x) ◦ F(y) ...

Triangulaizability of Algebras Over Division Rings

String Vertices and Inner Derivations

We show that it is algebraically consistent to express the string field theory operators ∂, K and I as inner derivations of the B-V algebra of string vertices. In this approach, the recursion relations for the string vertices are found to take the form of a ‘geometrical’ quantum master equation, 1 2{B,B} + ∆B = 0. We also show that the B-V delta operator cannot be an inner derivation on the alg...

A note on derivations in semiprime rings

We prove in this note the following result. Let n > 1 be an integer and let R be an n!torsion-free semiprime ring with identity element. Suppose that there exists an additive mapping D : R→ R such that D(xn) =∑nj=1 xn− jD(x)x j−1is fulfilled for all x ∈ R. In this case, D is a derivation. This research is motivated by the work of Bridges and Bergen (1984). Throughout, R will represent an associ...
