# A ONE-SIDED VERSION OF POSNER'S SECOND THEOREM ON MULTILINEAR POLYNOMIALS

• Published : 2005.11.01

#### Abstract

Let K be a commutative ring with unity, R a prime K-algebra of characteristic different from 2, d a non-zero derivation of R, I a non-zero right ideal of R, f($x_1,{\cdots},\;x_n$) a multilinear polynomial in n non-commuting variables over K, a $\in$ R. Supppose that, for any $x_1,{\cdots},\;x_n\;\in\;I,\;a[d(f(x_1,{\cdots},\;x_n)),\;f(x_1,{\cdots},\;x_n)]$ = 0. If $[f(x_1,{\cdots},\;x_n),\;x_{n+1}]x_{n+2}$ is not an identity for I and $$S_4(I,\;I,\;I,\;I)\;I\;\neq\;0$$, then aI = ad(I) = 0.
