On Generalized (α,β)-Derivations in Prime Rings

Abstract

Let R be a ring and α,β be endomorphisms of R. An additive mapping F: R → R is called a generalized (α,β)-derivation on R if there exists an (α,β)-derivation d: R → R such that F(xy)=F(x) α(y) + β(x)d(y) holds for all x, y ∈ R. In the present paper, we discuss the commutativity of a prime ring R admitting a generalized (α,β)-derivation F satisfying any one of the properties: (i) [F(x),x]α,β=0, (ii) F([x,y])=0, (iii) F(x ◦ y)=0, (iv) F([x,y])=[x,y]α,β, (v) F(x ◦ y)=(x ◦ y)α,β, (vi) F(xy)- α(xy) ∈ Z(R), (vii) F(x)F(y)- α(xy) ∈ Z(R) for all x, y in an appropriate subset of R.
