Jordan-type derivations on trivial extension algebras (Q6580169)

Let \(\mathcal{U}\) be an algebra over a unital commutative ring \(\mathcal{R}\). An \(\mathcal{R}\)-linear mapping \(d:\mathcal{U}\rightarrow \mathcal{U}\) is said to be a derivation if \(d(t_1t_2)=d(t_1)t_2 + t_1d(t_2)\) holds, for all \(t_1, t_2\in \mathcal{U}\). It is called an antiderivation if \(d(t_1t_2)=d(t_2)t_1 + t_2d(t_1)\) holds, for all \(t_1, t_2\in \mathcal{U}\). An \(\mathcal{R}\)-linear mapping \(\triangle : \mathcal{U}\rightarrow \mathcal{U}\) is called a Jordan derivation if \(\triangle(t_1\circ t_2) = \triangle(t_1)\circ t_2 + t_1 \circ \triangle(t_2)\) holds for all \(t_1, t_2\in \mathcal{U}\).\N\NIn this manuscript, the authors study Jordan \( n\)-derivation on trivial extension algebras. It is shown that under certain appropriate assumptions, every Jordan \(n\)-derivation on a trivial extension algebra is the sum of a derivation and a singular Jordan derivation which is also an antiderivation. Consequently, characterizations of Jordan \(n\)-derivations of triangular algebras and generalized matrix algebras are determined. This characterization provides valuable insights into the structure of Jordan-type derivations on these algebras. To illustrate its implications, the authors apply this theorem to specific examples, such as triangular algebras and generalized matrix algebras.
