On additive maps and commutativity in rings (Q1306271)

Various results concerning (skew-)commuting and skew-centralizing maps on (semi)prime rings are obtained. A sample result: Let \(R\) be a 2-torsionfree semiprime ring, \(U\) be a nonzero left ideal of \(R\) and \(d\) be a derivation of \(R\). If \(d\) is skew-commuting on \(U\) (that is, \(ud(u)+d(u)u=0\) for all \(u\in U\)), then \(d(U)=0\).
