Let U be a unital-algebra and δ : U → U be a linear map behaving like a derivation or an anti-derivation at the following orthogonality conditions on elements of U: xy = 0, xy = 0, xy = yx = 0 and xy = y x = 0. We characterize the map δ when U is a zero product determined algebra. Special characterizations are obtained when our results are applied to properly infinite W-algebras and unital simple C-algebras with a non-trivial idempotent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
