Throughout this note, \(R\) denotes an associative ring and \(C(R)\) be the center of \(R\). In this paper, it isproved that a non-central Lie ideal \(L\) of a semiprime ring \(R\) contains a nonzero ideal of \(R\) and this result isused to obtain several commutativity theorems of \(R\) involving multiplicative derivations. Moreover, someresults on one-sided ideals of \(R\) are given.
In this paper we explore commutativity of -prime rings in which derivations satisfy certain differential identities on Jordan ideals. Furthermore, examples are given to demonstrate that our results cannot be extended to semiprime rings.
Let R be a prime ring, I a nonzero ideal of R, d a derivation of R and m, n fixed positive integers. (i) If (d ( r ○ s)(r ○ s) + ( r ○ s) d ( r ○ s)n - d ( r ○ s))m for all r, s ϵ I, then R is commutative. (ii) If (d ( r ○ s)( r ○ s) + ( r ○ s) d ( r ○ s)n - d (r ○ s))m ϵ Z(R) for all r, s ϵ I, then R satisfies s4, the standard identity in four variables. Moreover, we also examine the case when R is a semiprime ring.
Earlier D. A. Jordan, C. R. Jordan and D. S. Passman have investigated the properties of Lie rings Der [Formula: see text] of derivations in a commutative differentially prime rings [Formula: see text]. We study Lie rings Der [Formula: see text] in the non-commutative case and prove that if [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-torsion-free [Formula: see text]-semiprime ring, then [Formula: see text] is a semiprime Lie ring or [Formula: see text] is a commutative ring.
Through much shorter proofs, some new commutativity theorems for rings with unity have been obtained. These results either extend or generalize a few well-known theorems. Our method of proof is based on an iteration technique.
