Jordan left *-centralizers of prime and semiprime rings with involution. (Q375930)

Let \(R\) be a ring with involution *. An additive mapping \(T\colon R\to R\) is called a left *-centralizer (resp. Jordan left *-centralizer) if \(T(xy)=T(x)y^*\) (resp. \(T(x^2)=T(x)x^*\)) holds for all \(x,y\in R\), and a reverse left *-centralizer if \(T(xy)=T(y)x^*\) holds for all \(x,y\in R\). In the current paper, it is shown that every Jordan left *-centralizer on a semiprime ring with involution, of characteristic different from two, is a reverse left *-centralizer. This result can be used to solve some functional equations in prime and semiprime rings with involution. Moreover, some related results are also obtained via similar methods.
