Derivations of higher order in semiprime rings.
We discuss range inclusion results for derivations on noncommutative Banach algebras from the point of view of ring theory.
Let be a prime ring, a nonzero ideal of , a derivation of and fixed positive integers. (i) If for all , then is commutative. (ii) If and for all , then is commutative. Moreover, we also examine the case when is a semiprime ring.
Let be a prime ring of char with a nonzero derivation and let be its noncentral Lie ideal. If for some fixed integers , for all , then satisfies , the standard identity in four variables.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16N80, 16S70, 16D25, 13G05.We construct some new examples showing that Heyman and Roos construction of the essential closure in the class of associative rings can terminate at any finite or the first infinite ordinal.
