Let
ℛ
be a unital
*
-ring with the unit
I
. Assume that
ℛ
contains a symmetric idempotent
P
which satisfies
A
ℛ
P
=
0
implies
A
=
0
and
A
ℛ
(
I
-
P
)
=
0
implies
A
=
0
. In this paper, it is proved that if
ϕ
:
ℛ
→
ℛ
is a nonlinear skew commuting map, then there exists an element
Z
∈
𝒵
S
(
ℛ
)
such that
ϕ
(
X
)
=
Z
X
for all
X
∈
ℛ
, where
𝒵
S
(
ℛ
)
is the symmetric center of
ℛ
.As an application, the form of nonlinear skew commuting maps on factors is obtained.
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.
