Abstract

Let $n{\geq}2$ be a fixed positive integer and let R be a noncommutative n!-torsion free semiprime ring. Suppose that there exists a symmetric n-derivation $\Delta$ : $R^{n}{\rightarrow}R$ such that the trace of $\Delta$ is centralizing on R. Then the trace is commuting on R. If R is a n!-torsion free prime ring and $\Delta{\neq}0$ under the same condition. Then R is commutative.
