Abstract

Let R be a non commutative prime ring of characteristic different from 2 with Utumi quotient ring U and extended centroid C. Let d and \(\delta \) be two derivations of R and S be the set of evaluations of a multilinear polynomial \(f(x_1,\ldots ,x_n)\) over C which is not central valued. Let \(p,q\in R\). We prove the followings.

  1. (1)

    If \(pud\delta (u)+\delta d(u)uq=0\) for all \(u\in S\) and \(p+q\notin C\). Then either \(d=0\) or \(\delta =0\).

  2. (2)

    If \(pud(u)+d(u)uq=0\) for all \(u\in S\). Then either \(d=0\) or \(p=q\in C\), \(d(x)=[a,x]\) for some \(a\in U\) and \(f(x_1,\ldots ,x_n)^2\) is central valued.
