We call (i?) 1 the Lie ring associated with R, and denote it by 9Î. The question of how far the properties of SR determine those of R is of considerable interest, and has been studied extensively for the case when R is an algebra, but little is known of the situation in general. In an earlier paper the author investigated the effect of the nilpotency of 9î upon the structure of R if R contains ...

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study Lie algebras and Lie groups over noncommutative rings. For any Lie algebra g sitting inside an associative algebra A and any associative algebra F we introduce and study the algebra (g,A)(F), which is the Lie subalgebra of F ⊗ A generated by F ⊗ g. In many examples A is the universal enveloping algebra of g. Our description of the algebra (g,A)(F)...

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. By a Bres̃ar generalized derivation of R we mean an additive map g : R→ R such that g (xy) = g (x) y + xd (y) for all x, y ∈ R, where d is a derivation of R. And an additive mapping f : R → R is called a generalized derivation in the sense of Nakajima if it satisfies f(xy) = f(x)y + xf(y) − xf(1)y for all x, y ∈ R. In this paper we extend some results o...
