Characterizations of homomorphisms of skew fields
This paper is about homomorphism. The author considers the functional equations \[ f\bigl((x+y) x^{-1}\bigr) f(x)=f(x)+ f(y),\tag{1} \] \[ f\bigl(x (x+y)^{-1}\bigr) \bigl(f(x)+ f(y)\bigr)=f(x), \tag{2} \] for \(x,y\in F\), a skew field and proves Result 1: Let \(f:F\to F\) satisfy (1) for \(x,y\in F\) with \(x\neq 0\). Then \(f\equiv 2\) or a homomorphism of \(F\); Result 2: Suppose \(f:F\to F\) satisfies (2) for all \(x,y\in F\) with \(x+y\neq 0\). If \(f(1) =1\), then \(f\) is a monomorphism of \(F\).
