Jordan left derivations in infinite matrix rings

Abstract

Let RR be a unital associative ring. Our motivation is to prove that left derivations in column finite matrix rings over RR are equal to zero and demonstrate that a left derivation d:T→Td:{\mathcal{T}}\to {\mathcal{T}} in the infinite upper triangular matrix ring T{\mathcal{T}} is determined by left derivations dj{d}_{j} in R(j=1,2,…)R\left(j=1,2,\ldots ) satisfying d((aij))=(bij)d\left(\left({a}_{ij}))=\left({b}_{ij}) for any (aij)∈T\left({a}_{ij})\in {\mathcal{T}}, where bij=dj(a11),i=1,0,i≠1.{b}_{ij}=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{d}_{j}\left({a}_{11}),& i=1,\\ 0,& i\ne 1.\end{array}\right. The similar results about Jordan left derivations are also obtained when RR is 2-torsion free.
