Commutativity conditions on derivations and Lie ideals $σ$-prime rings
Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free $σ$-prime ring, $U$ a nonzero square closed $σ$-Lie ideal of $R$ and let $d$ be a derivation of $R$. In this paper it is shown that: 1) If $d$ is centralizing on $U$, then $d = 0$ or $U \subseteq Z(R)$. 2) If either $d([x, y]) = 0$ for all $x, y \in U$, or $[d(x), d(y)] = 0$ for all $x, y \in U$ and $d$ commutes with $σ$ on $U$, then $d = 0$ or $U \subseteq Z(R)$.
