What can be expected from a cubic derivation on finite dimensional algebras?

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that every rank one cubic derivation on a unital integral domain is identically zero. From this conclusion, under certain conditions, we achieve that the image of a cubic derivation on a commutative algebra is contained in the Jacobson radical of algebra. As the main result of the current study, we prove that every cubic derivation on a finite dimensional algebra, under some circumstances, is identically zero.
