Abstract

Let be any arbitrary associative ring, a semiprime ideal, and a nonzero ideal of . In this study, using multiplicative (generalized)-derivations, we explore the behavior of semiprime ideals that satisfy certain algebraic identities. Moreover, examples are provided to demonstrate that the restrictions imposed on the hypotheses of the various theorems are necessary.

1. Introduction

Throughout this study, represents an associative ring with the center . The symbols and , where , stand for the anticommutator and commutator , respectively. We will frequently use the basic commutator and anticommutator identities: , and , for all . A ring is said to be a prime ring if for all , implies or , and is said to be a semiprime ring if for all , implies . An ideal is said to be a prime ideal of if and for all , implies or , and is a semiprime ideal if and for any , implies . A mapping is said to be a -commuting mapping on if for all where . In particular, if , then is said to be a commuting mapping on if . Note that every commuting mapping is a -commuting mapping (put ), but the converse can be inaccurate in general (taking as a set of which has no zero such that , then is a -commuting mapping, but it is not a commuting mapping). An additive mapping is said to be a derivation of if holds for all . An additive mapping associated with a derivation is said to be a generalized derivation of if holds for all .

Daif [1] introduced the concept of multiplicative derivations, and it was motivated by the work of Martindale [2]. Dhara and Ali [3] have expanded the concept of multiplicative derivation to include multiplicative (generalized)-derivation. As a result, a mapping (not necessarily additive) is called multiplicative (generalized)-derivation if holds for all , where is any mapping (not necessarily a derivation nor an additive map). As a result, multiplicative (generalized)-derivation encompasses both multiplicative and multiplicative generalized derivation ideas. The ideas of multiplicative centralizers are covered by a multiplicative (generalized)-derivation associated with mapping (not necessarily additive). However, there are few articles on this subject (see [35] for a partial bibliography).

Every generalized derivation is obviously a multiplicative (generalized)-derivation on . However, the converse can be inaccurate in general. The following example shows this fact.

Example 1. Let be any ring and letWe define the maps and as follows: Then, it is simple to show that is a multiplicative (generalized)-derivation associated with a multiplicative derivation , but is not a generalized derivation of .
Numerous studies have revealed that the global structure of is typically related to the behavior of additive mappings formed on . Recent work has investigated the commutativity of the factor ring , where is the prime ideal of any arbitrary ring , using algebraic identities in , including derivations and generalized derivations (see [611]).
In 2021, Mamouni et al. [12] proved that any ring must be commutative or , where is a prime ideal of if admits a generalized derivation satisfying for all . In the same year, Rehman et al. [13] proved that any ring must be commutative or , where is a prime ideal of if admit generalized derivations and satisfying for all .
We investigate algebraic identities with multiplicative (generalized)-derivation involving semiprime ideal in this article without making any assumptions about semiprimeness on the ring in discussion. In addition, examples are given to show the need of the constraints imposed on the various theorems’ hypotheses.
