AbstractLet R be a prime ring with invoution *, of characteristic 0, with skew elements K and extended centroid C. Let a ∈ K be such that (ad a)n =0 on K. It is shown that one of the following possibilities holds: (a) R is an order in a 4-dimensional central simple algebra, (b) there is a skew element λ in C such that , (c) * is of the first kind, n ≡ 0 or n ≡ 3 (mod 4), and . Examples are given illustrating (c).

AbstractLet R be a prime ring with involution and d, δ be derivations on R. Suppose that xd(x)—δ(x)x is central for all symmetric x or for all skew x. Then d = δ = 0 unless R is a commutative integral domain or an order of a 4-dimensional central simple algebra.

Prime rings came into prominence when Posner characterized prime rings satisfying a polynomial identity [9]. The scarcity of invertible central elements made it difficult to generalize results from central simple and primitive algebras to prime rings. For example, we do not automatically have tensor products at our disposal. In [5], the first author introduced the Martindale ring of quotients Q(R) of a prime ring R in his theorem characterizing prime rings satisfying a generalized polynomial identity (GPI). Q(R) is a prime ring containing R whose center C is a field called the extended centroid of R. The central closure of R is the subring RC of Q(R) generated by R and C. RC is a closed prime ring since its extended centroid equals its center C. Hence we have a useful procedure for proving results about an arbitrary prime ring R. We first answer the question for closed prime rings and then apply to R the information obtained from RC. It should be noted that simple rings and free algebras of rank at least 2 are closed prime rings. For these reasons, closed prime rings are natural objects to study.

In a recent note [2] we showed that if R is a prime ring and d ≠ 0 a derivation of R such that d(x)d(y) = d(y)d(x) for all x, y ∈ R then, if R is not a characteristic 2, R must be commutative. (If char R = 2 we showed that R must be an order in a 4-dimensional simple algebra.)In this paper we shall consider a similar problem, namely, that of a prime ring R with involution * where d(x)d(y) = d(y)d(x) not for all x, y ∈ R but merely for symmetric elements x* = x and y* = y. Although it is clear that some results can be obtained if R is of characteristic 2, we shall only be concerned with the case char R ≠ 2. Even in this case one cannot hope to extend the result cited in the first paragraph, that is, to show that R is commutative.

AbstractLet R be a non-GPI prime ring with involution and characteristic ≠ 2, 3. Let K denote the skew elements of R, and C denote the extended centroid of R. Let δ be a Lie derivation of K into itself. Then δ = ρ + ∊ where ∊ is an additive map into the skew elements of the extended centroid of R which is zero on [K, K], and ρ can be extended to an ordinary derivation of ⧼K⧽ into RC, the central closure.

AbstractLet {\mathscr{R}} be a prime ring, {\mathscr{Q}_{r}} the right Martindale quotient ring of {\mathscr{R}} and {\mathscr{C}} the extended centroid of {\mathscr{R}}. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between the structure of prime rings and the behavior of skew derivations on multilinear polynomials. More precisely, we investigate the m-potent commutators of skew derivations involving multilinear polynomials, i.e.,\big{(}[\delta(f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})),f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})]\big{)}^{m}=[% \delta(f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})),f(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})],where {1<m\in\mathbb{Z}^{+}}, {f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n})} is a non-central multilinear polynomial over {\mathscr{C}} and δ is a skew derivation of {\mathscr{R}}.

A totally singular quadratic form is associated to any central simple algebra with orthogonal involution in characteristic two. It is shown that the given involution is isotropic if and only if its corresponding quadratic form is isotropic.

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, Q be its maximal right ring of quotients, and C be its extended centroid. Suppose that [Formula: see text] is a non-central multilinear polynomial over C, [Formula: see text], and F, G are two b-generalized derivations of R. In this paper we describe all possible forms of F and G in the case [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] in Rn.

Let K be a field and (K) the Brauer group of K. It consists of the similarity classes of finite central simple algebras over K. For any field extension F/K there is a natural mapping (K) → (F) which is obtained by assigning to each central simple algebra A/K the tensor product which is a central simple algebra over F. The kernel of this map is the relative Brauer group (F/K), consisting of those A ∈(K) which are split by F.

AbstractWe produce an isomorphism $E_{\infty }^{m,-m-1}\cong \text{Nrd}_{1}(A^{\otimes m})$ between terms of the $\text{K}$-theory coniveau spectral sequence of a Severi–Brauer variety $X$ associated with a central simple algebra $A$ and a reduced norm group, assuming $A$ has equal index and exponent over all finite extensions of its center and that $\text{SK}_{1}(A^{\otimes i})=1$ for all $i>0$.
