Identities involving additive maps on division rings
Let $g$ be an additive map on a division ring $D$. In this paper, we study the functional identity $G_{1}(y)g(y)G_{2}(y) = H(y)$, where $G_{1}(Y), G_{2}(Y)$, $H(Y)$ are generalized polynomials in $D_{G}[Y]$ such that both $G_{1}(Y)$ and $G_{2}(Y)$ are non-zero. By application of this result and its implications, we prove that if $D$ is a non-commutative division ring with $\operatorname{char}(D) \neq 2$, then the only possible solution of additive maps $g_{1},g_{2}: D \rightarrow D$ satisfying the identity $g_{1}(y)y^{-m} + y^{n}g_{2}(y^{-1})= 0$ is $ g_{1} = g_{2} = 0$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $(m,n) \neq (1,1)$.
