Derivations on subrings of matrix rings

Jang-Ho Chun and June-Won Park

Yeungnam University, Kyungil University

Abstract

For a lower niltriangular matrix ring $A=NT_n(K)$ $(n \geq 3)$, we show that every derivation of $A$ is a sum of certain diagonal, trivial extension and strongly nilpotent derivation. Moreover, a strongly nilpotent derivation is a sum of an inner derivation and an $uaz$-derivation.

Keywords: derivations, diagonal derivations, strongly nilpotent deri-vations, inner derivations
