Abstract
AbstractLetdbe a non-zero derivation on a primitive ringRandƒ(x1,…,xn) a homogeneous polynomial of degreem. We prove that the conditiond(ƒ(r1,…,rn)t) = 0, for allr1,…,rn∈R, withtdepending onr1,…,rn, forcesRto be a finite dimensional central simple algebra andƒpower-central valued onR. We also obtain bounds on [R:Z(R)] in terms ofm.
