Let ${\cal U}$ and ${\cal V}$ be linear spaces over fields $\mathbb{F}$ and $\mathbb{K}$, respectively, such that Dim$\,{\cal U}=n\geqslant 2$ and $\left|\mathbb{F}\right|\geqslant 3$. Let $\bigwedge^2{\cal U}$ be the second exterior power of ${\cal U}$. Fixing an even integer $k$ satisfying $\frac{n-1}{2}\leqslant k\leqslant n$, it is shown that a map $\psi:\bigwedge^2{\cal U}\rightarrow\bigwedge^2{\cal V}$ satisfies $\psi(u+v)=\psi(u)+\psi(v)$ for all rank $k$ bivectors $u,v\in\bigwedge^2{\cal U}$ if and only if $\psi$ is an additive map. Examples showing the indispensability of the assumption on $k$ are given.

AbstractLet R be a ring. A map f: R → R is additive if f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b) for all elements a and b of R. Here, a map f: R → R is called unit-additive if f(u + v) = f(u) + f(v) for all units u and v of R. Motivated by a recent result of Xu, Pei and Yi showing that, for any field F, every unit-additive map of (F) is additive for all n ≥ z, this paper is about the question of when every unit-additivemap of a ring is additive. It is proved that every unit-additivemap of a semilocal ring R is additive if and only if either R has no homomorphic image isomorphic to or R/J(R) ≅ with 2 = 0 in R. Consequently, for any semilocal ring R, every unit-additive map of (R) is additive for all n ≥ 2. These results are further extended to rings R such that R/J(R) is a direct product of exchange rings with primitive factors Artinian. A unit-additive map f of a ring R is called unithomomorphic if f(uv) = f(u)f(v) for all units u, v of R. As an application, the question of when every unit-homomorphic map of a ring is an endomorphism is addressed.

Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C. We prove that an additive map from R into RC + C can be characterized in terms of left and right b-generalized derivations if it has a generalized derivation expansion. As a consequence, a generalization of the Noether–Skolem theorem is proved among other things: A linear map from a finite-dimensional central simple algebra into itself is an elementary operator if it has a generalized derivation expansion.

Let $n\geq 2$ and $1<k\leq n$ be integers. Let $S_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the linear space of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic not two. In this note, we prove that an additive map $\psi:S_n(\mathbb{F})\rightarrow S_n(\mathbb{F})$ satisfies $\psi(A)A=A\psi(A)$ for all rank $k$ matrices $A\in S_n(\mathbb{F})$ if and only if there exists a scalar $\lambda\in \mathbb{F}$ and an additive map $\mu:S_n(\mathbb{F})\rightarrow \mathbb{F}$ such that\[\psi(A)=\lambda A+\mu(A)I_n,\]for all $A\in S_n(\mathbb{F})$, where $I_n$ is the identity matrix. Examples showing the indispensability of assumptions on the integer $k>1$ and the underlying field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic not two are included.

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic not 2, C be the extended centroid of R, and f: R → R be an additive map. Suppose that [f(x), x2] = 0 for all x ∈ R. Then there exist λ ∈ C and an additive map ζ: R → C such that f(x) = λx + ζ(x) for all x ∈ R. In particular, if f(x)2 = x2 for all x ∈ R, then ζ = 0 and either λ = 1 or λ= -1.

Let $T_{n}(R)$ be the upper triangular matrix ring over a unital commutative ring whose characteristic is not a divisor of $m$. Suppose that $f:T_{n}(R)\rightarrow T_{n}(R)$ is an additive map such that $X^{m}f(X)=f(X)X^{m}$ for all $x \in T_{n}(R),$ where $m\geq 1$ is an integer. We consider the problem of describing the form of the map $X \rightarrow f(X)$.
