Multiplicative generalized Lie \(n\)-derivations of unital rings with idempotents (Q2121673)

Let \(\mathfrak{A}\) be a unital ring with a nontrivial \(e\). In this paper under review, the authors show that under mild assumptions on the idempotent \(e\), every multiplicative generalized Lie-type derivation \(\Delta: \mathfrak{A}\longrightarrow \mathfrak{A}\) is of the form \(\Delta(u)=zu+\delta(u)\), where \(z\in \mathcal{Z}(\mathfrak{A})\) and \(\delta : \mathfrak{A}\longrightarrow \mathfrak{A}\) is a multiplicative Lie-type derivation. The main result is then applied to some classical examples of unital rings with nontrivial idempotents such as triangular rings, matrix rings, nest algebras, and algebras of bounded linear operators. This paper is well written and is well organized, the main results will be useful for those experts in the additive mappings of associative algebras.
