Generalized derivations commuting on Lie ideals in prime rings (Q6046038)

Let \(R\) be a prime ring of characteristic different from \(2\), \(Z(R)\) its center, \(U\) its Utumi quotient ring, \(C\) its extended centroid, \(L\) a non-central Lie ideal of \(R\), \(F\), \(G\) and \(H\) three generalized skew derivations of \(R\). In the paper under review it is proved that if \([F(u)G(u)-uH(u),u]=0\), for any \(u\in L\), then one of the following conditions holds: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] there exist \(a,b,c,p,q \in U\) such that \(F(x)=ax\), \(G(x)=bx+xc\) and \(H(x)=px+xq\), for any \(x\in R\), with \(a, ab-p, q-ac \in C\); \item[(2)] there exist \(a,b,c,\in U\) such that \(F(x)=xa\), \(G(x)=bx\) and \(H(x)=cx\), for any \(x\in R\), with \(ab-c \in C\); \item[(3)] there exist \(a,b\in U\), \(\lambda, \mu \in C\) and a derivation \(h\) of \(R\) such that \(F(x)=\lambda x\), \(G(x)=ax+\mu h(x)\) and \(H(x)=bx+h(x)\), for any \(x\in R\), with \(\lambda a-b \in C\) and \(\lambda \mu =1\); \item[(4)] \(R\) satisfies \(s_4(x_1,\ldots,x_4)\), the standard identity of degree \(4\). \end{itemize}
