Abstract

Let R be a prime ring, which is not commutative, with involution * and with Qms(R) the maximal symmetric ring of quotients of R. An additive map δ : R → R is called a Jordan *-derivation if δ(x²) = δ(x)x* + xδ(x) for all x ∈ R. A Jordan *-derivation of R is called X-inner if it is of the form x ↦ xa - ax* for x ∈ R, where a ∈ Qms(R). We prove that any Jordan *-derivation of R is X-inner if char R ≠ 2 or deg(S(R)) > 4, where S(R) := {x ∈ R|x* = x}.

1. Results
Throughout the paper, Ralways denotes an associative prime ring with center
Z(R). We write Qml(R) for the maximal left ring of quotients of Rand Qms(R)
for the maximal symmetric ring of quotients of R.ItisknownthatRQms(R)
Qml(R). The two overrings of Rare also prime rings with the same center C,which
is a field. The field Cis called the extended centroid of R. We refer the reader to
the book [3] for details.

... Šemrl studied the Jordan * -derivations and quadratic forms making use of bilinear forms, see [21] and [20]. Lee et al. in [13], Theorem 2.12, [15] and [16] obtained that any Jordan * -derivation on a noncommutative prime ring A with an involution ' * ' is X-inner unless dim C AC = 4 and char(A) = 2. Vukman in [27], Theorem 4 first characterized (m, n)-Jordan centralizers in prime rings and proved that every (m, n)-Jordan centralizer on a prime ring A is a two sided centralizer provided Z(A) is nonzero and A is 6mn(m + n)-torsion free. Fošner [7], proved that any generalized (m, n)-Jordan centralizer on a 6mn(m+n)(m+2n)-torsion free prime ring A is a two sided centralizer provided that Z(A) is nonzero. ...

... Semrl studied the Jordan * -derivation and quadratic forms making use of bilinear forms (see [20,21]). Lee et al. [14,15] obtained that any Jordan * -derivation on a noncommutative prime ring A with involution ' * ' is X-inner unless dim C AC = 4 and char(A) = 2. Lee and Wong [13] proved that any Jordan τ-derivation of a noncommutative prime ring A is X-inner if either A is not a GPI-ring or A is a PI-ring except when char(A) = 2 and dim C AC = 4. Very recently Lin [16] showed that when A is a prime GPI-ring but not a PI-ring, then any Jordan τ-derivation of A is X-inner if either τ is of the second kind or both char(A) = 2 and τ is of the first kind with deg τ 2 = 2. Vukman [22] proved that if m and n are distinct positive integers such that A is a 2mn(m + n)|m − n|-torsion free prime ring, then any nonzero (m, n)-Jordan derivation F : A → A is a derivation and A is commutative unless char(A) = 2 or 3. Ali and Fošner [1] generalized this result and proved that if A is a 6mn(m + n)|m − n|-torsion free prime ring and G : A → A is a nonzero generalized (m, n)-Jordan derivation, then G is a derivation and A is commutative provided that char(A) = 0 or char(A) > 3. Recently, Bennis, Dhara and Fahid [4, Theorem 1.3] characterized nonzero generalized (m, n)-Jordan derivations in semiprime rings and obtained that if A is a 6mn(m + n)|m − n|-torsion free semiprime ring, then any nonzero generalized (m, n)-Jordan derivation on A is a derivation and maps A into Z(A). For other results see [6][7][8]17]. ...

Let 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} be a prime ring equipped with an involution ‘ * {*} ’ of order 2 and let m ≠ n {m\neq n} be some fixed positive integers such that 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} is 2 ⁢ m ⁢ n ⁢ ( m + n ) ⁢ | m - n | {2mn(m+n)|m-n|} -torsion free. Let 𝒬 m ⁢ s ⁢ ( 𝒜 ) {\mathcal{Q}_{ms}(\mathcal{A})} be the maximal symmetric ring of quotients of 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} and consider the mappings ℱ {\mathcal{F}} and 𝒢 : 𝒜 → 𝒬 m ⁢ s ⁢ ( 𝒜 ) {\mathcal{G}:\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{Q}_{ms}(\mathcal{A})} satisfying the relations ( m + n ) ⁢ ℱ ⁢ ( a 2 ) = 2 ⁢ m ⁢ ℱ ⁢ ( a ) ⁢ a * + 2 ⁢ n ⁢ a ⁢ ℱ ⁢ ( a ) (m+n)\mathcal{F}(a^{2})=2m\mathcal{F}(a)a^{*}+2na\mathcal{F}(a) and ( m + n ) ⁢ 𝒢 ⁢ ( a 2 ) = 2 ⁢ m ⁢ 𝒢 ⁢ ( a ) ⁢ a * + 2 ⁢ n ⁢ a ⁢ ℱ ⁢ ( a ) (m+n)\mathcal{G}(a^{2})=2m\mathcal{G}(a)a^{*}+2na\mathcal{F}(a) for all a ∈ 𝒜 {a\in\mathcal{A}} . Using the theory of functional identities and the structure of involutions on matrix algebras, we prove that if ℱ {\mathcal{F}} and 𝒢 {\mathcal{G}} are additive, then 𝒢 = 0 {\mathcal{G}=0} . We also show that, in case ‘ * * ’ is any nonidentity anti-automorphism, the same conclusion holds if either ‘ * {*} ’ is not identity on 𝒵 ⁢ ( 𝒜 ) {\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})} or 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} is a PI-ring.
... For instance, Haetinger and Mamouni [1] introduced the concept of generalized left semi-derivations in the non-commutative ring and presented some results about it. A paper by Lee and Zhou [2] had studied the notion of Jordan -derivations of prime rings. The authors showed that any Jordan -derivation of non-commutative prime ring with involution is X-inner. ...

Let ℛ {\mathscr{R}} be a prime ring, which is not commutative, with involution * {*} and symmetric ring of quotients 𝒬 s {\mathscr{Q}_{s}} . The aim of the present paper is to describe the structures of a pair of generalized Jordan * {*} -derivations of prime * {*} -rings. Notably, we prove that if a noncommutative prime ring ℛ {\mathscr{R}} with involution * {*} admits a couple of generalized Jordan derivations ℱ 1 {\mathcal{F}_{1}} and ℱ 2 {\mathcal{F}_{2}} associated with Jordan * {*} -derivations 𝒟 1 {\mathscr{D}_{1}} and 𝒟 2 {\mathscr{D}_{2}} such that ℱ 1 ⁢ ( x ) ⁢ x * - x ⁢ ℱ 2 ⁢ ( x ) = 0 {\mathcal{F}_{1}(x)x^{*}-x\mathcal{F}_{2}(x)=0} for all x ∈ ℛ {x\in\mathscr{R}} , then the following holds: (i) if 𝒟 1 ⁢ ( x ) = 𝒟 2 ⁢ ( x ) {\mathscr{D}_{1}(x)=\mathscr{D}_{2}(x)} , then ℱ 1 ⁢ ( x ) = ℱ 2 ⁢ ( x ) = 0 {\mathcal{F}_{1}(x)=\mathcal{F}_{2}(x)=0} for all x ∈ ℛ {x\in\mathscr{R}} , (ii) if 𝒟 1 ⁢ ( x ) ≠ 𝒟 2 ⁢ ( x ) {\mathscr{D}_{1}(x)\neq\mathscr{D}_{2}(x)} , then there exists q ∈ 𝒬 s {q\in\mathscr{Q}_{s}} such that ℱ 1 ⁢ ( x ) = x ⁢ q {\mathcal{F}_{1}(x)=xq} , and ℱ 2 ⁢ ( x ) = q ⁢ x * {\mathcal{F}_{2}(x)=qx^{*}} for all x ∈ ℛ {x\in\mathscr{R}} . Moreover, some related results are also discussed.

Let A{\mathcal {A}} be a noncommutative prime ring equipped with an involution `*’. Let Qms(A){\mathcal {Q}}_{ms}({\mathcal {A}}) be the maximal symmetric ring of quotients of A{\mathcal {A}} and C{\mathcal {C}} be the extended centroid of A{\mathcal {A}}. The objective of this manuscript is to characterize the additive map T:AQms(A){\mathcal {T}}:{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {Q}}_{ms}({\mathcal {A}}) satisfying any one of the following conditions. (i): T(a2)=aT(a)+ηT(a)a{\mathcal {T}}(a^2) = a{\mathcal {T}}(a)+\eta {\mathcal {T}}(a)a^* for all aAa\in {\mathcal {A}}, where ηC\eta \in {\mathcal {C}} and η{0,1}\eta \notin \{0, 1\}. (ii): T(a)(a)n+anT(a)=0{\mathcal {T}}(a)(a^*)^n+a^n{\mathcal {T}}(a)=0 for all aAa\in {\mathcal {A}}, where n is a fixed positive integer. We also study some results concerning generalized derivations in prime rings with involution. Moreover, all the study in the manuscript is carried out in the light of the theory of functional identities.

In this note we show how Jordan *-derivations arise as a “measure” of the representability of quasi-quadratic functionals by sesquilinear ones. Our main result can be considered as an extension of the Jordan-von Neumann characterization of pre-Hilbert space.

I. N. Herstein has shown that every Jordan derivation on a prime ring not of characteristic 2 is a derivation. This result is extended in this paper to the case of any ring in which 2x = 0 implies x = 0 and which is semiprime or which has a commutator which is not a zero divisor.

Chapter 3 was primarily devoted to constructing new d-free sets from given d-free or (t; d)-free sets. Now we turn our attention to the study of FI's on d-free sets. Of course, by the very definition one can say everything that is possible about the basic FI's through which d-free sets were introduced. But what we intend to show is that one can analyze also some other FI's on d-free sets, some of them considerably more complicated than the basic ones.
