Abstract

A mapfof the ringRinto itself is of period 2 iff2x=xfor allx∈R; involutions are much studied examples. We present some commutativity results for semiprime and prime rings with involution, and we study the existence of derivations and generalized derivations of period 2 on prime and semiprime rings.

Highlights

  • Let R be a ring with center Z = Z(R), and for each x, y ∈ R, let [x, y] denote the commutator xy − yx

  • A map f : R → R is said to be of period 2 on S if f2(x) = x for all x ∈ S, and S is called an f-subset if f(S) = S

  • Assume first that ∗ is commuting on U; that is, [x, x∗] = 0 for all x ∈ U

Summary

Introduction

A map f : R → R is said to be of period 2 on S if f2(x) = x for all x ∈ S, and S is called an f-subset if f(S) = S. Left) generalized derivation on R if F(xy) = F(x)y + xd(y) (resp., F(xy) = d(x)y + xF(y)) for all x, y ∈ R, where d is a derivation on R, called the associated derivation. (Note that this definition is different from that of Hvala in [2]; his generalized derivations are our right generalized derivations.). Our purpose is to study existence and properties of involutions, derivations, and generalized derivations of period 2 on certain subsets of semiprime and prime rings
