Generalized Jordan \(n\)-derivations of unital algebras with idempotents (Q2230079)

Summary: Let \(\mathscr{A}\) be a unital algebra with idempotent \(e\) over a 2-torsionfree unital commutative ring \(\mathscr{R}\) and \(\mathfrak{S}:\mathscr{A}\longrightarrow\mathscr{A}\) be an arbitrary generalized Jordan \(n\)-derivation associated with a Jordan n-derivation \(J\). We show that, under mild conditions, every generalized Jordan n-derivation \(\mathfrak{S}:\mathscr{A}\longrightarrow\mathscr{A}\) is of the form \(\mathfrak{S}(x)=\lambda x+J(x)\) in the current work. As an application, we give a description of generalized Jordan derivations for the condition \(n=2\) on classical examples of unital algebras with idempotents: triangular algebras, matrix algebras, nest algebras, and algebras of all bounded linear operators, which generalize some known results.
