Review text

Let \(R\) be a prime ring and let \(\delta_1,\dots,\delta_n\) be nonzero derivations of \(R\) such that \(\delta_1(x)\cdots\delta_n(x)=0\) for all \(x\in R\). \textit{M. Brešar}, \textit{M. A. Chebotar} and \textit{P. Šemrl} [ibid. 27, No. 7, 3129-3135 (1999; Zbl 0934.16032)] proved that in this case the extended centroid \(C\) of \(R\) must be finite, and asked whether in fact \(R\) itself must be finite. In the paper under review the authors show that this is not true. In fact they show that in any prime GPI ring \(R\) such that \(|C|=q<\infty\) and \(\dim_CRC>2\) there exist nonzero derivations \(\delta_1,\delta_2,\dots,\delta_{2q+3}\) of \(R\) such that \(\delta_1(x)\delta_2(x)\cdots\delta_{2q+3}(x)=0\) for all \(x\in R\). Moreover, a generalization of the result of Brešar, Chebotar and Šemrl to generalized derivations and Lie ideals is proved.
