Derivations of higher order in semiprime rings

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:1380955)





Let \(R\) be a semiprime ring and \(D\) a derivation of \(R\) so that \(D^{2n}\) is also a derivation of \(R\). The authors prove that when either \(R\) is \((4n-2)!\)-torsion free, or when \(D\) is inner and \(R\) is 2-torsion free, then \(D^{2n-1}=0\). The requirement on torsion allows a reduction to prime rings. In this case a previous result of the authors [Can. Math. Bull. 39, No. 3, 376-384 (1996; Zbl 0862.16025)]\ may be applied.
