The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between the structure of a factor ring R/P and the behavior of some derivations of R. More precisely, we establish a connection between the commutativity of R/P and derivations of R satisfying specific identities involving the prime ideal P. Moreover, we provide an example to show that our results cannot be extended to semi-prime ideals.

We show that the ${\theta}$-prime radical of a ring R is the set of all strongly ${\theta}$-nilpotent elements in R, where ${\theta}$ is an automorphism of R. We observe some conditions under which the ${\theta}$-prime radical of coincides with the prime radical of R. Moreover we characterize elements in prime radicals of skew Laurent polynomial rings, studying (${\theta}$, ${\theta}^{-1}$)-(semi)primeness of ideals of R.

In this paper, several properties of endomorphism rings of modules are investigated. A multiplication module M over a commutative ring R induces a commutative ring $M^*$ of endomorphisms of M and hence the relation between the prime (maximal) submodules of M and the prime (maximal) ideals of $M^*$ can be found. In particular, two classes of ideals of $M^*$ are discussed in this paper: one is of the form $G_{M^*}\;(M,\;N)\;=\;\{f\;{\in}\;M^*\;|\;f(M)\;{\subseteq}\;N\}$ and the other is of the form $G_{M^*}\;(N,\;0)\;=\;\{f\;{\in}\;M^*\;|\;f(N)\;=\;0\}$ for a submodule N of M.

In this note we prove the following result: Let A be a complex Banach *-algebra with continuous involution and let B be an $A^{*}$-algebra./T(A) = B. Then T is continuous (Theorem 2). From above theorem some others results of special interest and some well-known results follow. (Corollaries 3,4,5,6 and 7). We close this note with some generalizations and some remarks (Theorems 8.9.10 and question). Throughout this note we consider only complex algebras. Let A and B be complex algebras. A linear mapping T from A into B is called jordan homomorphism if T( $x^{1}$) = (Tx)$^{2}$ for all x in A. A linear mapping T : A .rarw. B is called spectrally-contractive mapping if .rho.(Tx).leq..rho.(x) for all x in A, where .rho.(x) denotes spectral radius of element x. Any homomorphism algebra is a spectrally-contractive mapping. If A and B are *-algebras, then a homomorphism T : A.rarw.B is called *-homomorphism if (Th)$^{*}$=Th for all self-adjoint element h in A. Recall that a Banach *-algebras is a complex Banach algebra with an involution *. An $A^{*}$-algebra A is a Banach *-algebra having anauxiliary norm vertical bar . vertical bar which satisfies $B^{*}$-condition vertical bar $x^{*}$x vertical bar = vertical bar x vertical ba $r^{2}$(x in A). A Banach *-algebra whose norm is an algebra $B^{*}$-norm is called $B^{*}$-algebra. The *-semi-simple Banach *-algebras and the semi-simple hermitian Banach *-algebras are $A^{*}$-algebras. Also, $A^{*}$-algebras include $B^{*}$-algebras ( $C^{*}$-algebras). Recall that a semi-prime algebra is an algebra without nilpotents two-sided ideals non-zero. The class of semi-prime algebras includes the class of semi-prime algebras and the class of prime algebras. For all concepts and basic facts about Banach algebras we refer to [2] and [8].].er to [2] and [8].].

We continue the study of fully idempotent rings initiated by Courter. It is shown that a (semi)prime ring, but not fully idempotent, can be always constructed from any (semi)prime ring. It is shown that the full idempotence is both Morita invariant and a hereditary radical property, obtaining $hs(Mat_n(R))\;=\;Mat_n(hs(R))$ for any ring R where hs(-) means the sum of all fully idempotent ideals. A non-semiprimitive fully idempotent ring with identity is constructed from the Smoktunowicz's simple nil ring. It is proved that the full idempotence is preserved by the classical quotient rings. More properties of fully idempotent rings are examined and necessary examples are found or constructed in the process.
