Let A be a unital algebra over a field F with char F≠2 , and let f,g,h : A → A be linear maps. We say that f is a {g,h} -derivation if f(xy)=g(x)y + xh(y)= h(x)y + xg(y) for all x,y∈A , and we say that f is a Jordan {g,h} -derivation if f(xºy)=g(x)ºy + xºh(y) for all x,y∈A (here, xºy=xy +yx). We show that if the property that every Jordan {g,h} -derivation is a {g,h} -derivation holds in A, then
... [Show full abstract] so does in the algebra A⊗S for every commutative unital algebra S. We also show that every semiprime algebra A has this property. Combining these two results, it follows, in particular, that the classical Jordan derivations are derivations on the tensor product between a semiprime and a commutative algebra.
