Let $ℛ$ be a commutative ring, $𝒢$ be a generalized matrix algebra over $ℛ$ with weakly loyal bimodule and $𝒵\left(𝒢\right)$ be the center of $𝒢$. Suppose that $𝔮:𝒢\times 𝒢\to 𝒢$ is an $ℛ$-bilinear mapping and that ${𝔗}_{𝔮}:𝒢\to 𝒢$ is a trace of $𝔮$. The aim of this article is to describe the form of ${𝔗}_{𝔮}$ satisfying the centralizing condition $[{𝔗}_{𝔮}\left(x\right),x]\in 𝒵\left(𝒢\right)$ (and commuting condition $[{𝔗}_{𝔮}\left(x\right),x]=0$) for all $x\in 𝒢$. More precisely, we will revisit the question of when the centralizing trace (and commuting trace) ${𝔗}_{𝔮}$ has the so-called proper form from a new perspective. Using the aforementioned...
