The K-Derivation Of A Gamma-Ring, Hati̇ce Kandamar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, the $k$-derivation is defined on a $\Gamma$-ring $M$ (that is, if $M$ is a $\Gamma$-ring, $d:M\to M$ and $k:\Gamma\to \Gamma$ are to additive maps such that $d(a\beta b )= d(a)\beta b + ak(\beta)b + a\beta d(b) $ for all $a,b\in M, \quad \beta \in \Gamma$, then $d$ is called a $k$-derivation of $M$) and the following results are proved. (1) Let $R$ be a ring of characteristic not equal to 2 such that if $xry=0$ for all $x, y\in R$ then $r=0$. If $d$ is a $k$-derivation of the $(R=)\Gamma$-ring $R$ with $k=d$, then $d$ is the …
