Abstract:
It is known that in a prime ring, a derivation nilpotent on a nonzero ideal must also be nilpotent in the entire ring. In this paper we show that a derivation of a prime ring is not necessarily nil even though it is nil on a nonzero ideal. It is nil if the ring satisfies the ascending chain condition on left (right) annihilator ideals.References
