Abstract
We study additive maps which are skew-commuting or skew-centralizing on appropriate subsets of a ring R; and we investigate commutativity in prime and semiprime rings admitting a nonzero derivation d such that [d(x),d(y)] = 0 for all x,y in some nonzero one-sided ideal. This paper has two main parts. The first, motivated by a recent result of Brešar [3] on triviality of skew-commuting additive maps on prime rings, is a study of additive maps which are skew-commuting or skew-centralizing on subsets of certain rings. The second continues a study, begun years ago by Herstein [7], of prime and semiprime rings R admitting a nonzero derivation d such that d(x)d(y) − d(y)d(x) = 0 for all x, y in a suitably chosen subset of R.
