Some generalizations of the center of a ring
1978
Si generalizza la nozione di ipercentro introdotta da Herstein in [3] e si trova una forma equivalente alla congettura di Koethe.
Prime Rings Whose Units Satisfy a Group Identity. II
2003
Abstract Let R be a prime ring and 𝒰(R) its group of units. We prove that if 𝒰(R) satisfies a group identity and 𝒰(R) generates R,then either R is a domain or R is isomorphic to the algebra of n × n matrices over a finite field of order d. Moreover the integers n and d depend only on the group identity satisfed by 𝒰(R). This result has been recently proved by C. H. Liu and T. K. Lee (Liu,C. H.; Lee,T. K. Group identities and prime rings generated by units. Comm. Algebra (to appear)) and here we present a new different proof.
Derivations on a Lie Ideal
1988
AbstractIn this paper we prove the following result: let R be a prime ring with no non-zero nil left ideals whose characteristic is different from 2 and let U be a non central Lie ideal of R.If d ≠ 0 is a derivation of R such that d(u) is invertible or nilpotent for all u ∈ U, then either R is a division ring or R is the 2 X 2 matrices over a division ring. Moreover in the last case if the division ring is non commutative, then d is an inner derivation of R.
