An identity related to centralizers in semiprime rings. (English) Zbl 1014.16021

Let \(R\) be an associative ring. Recall that an additive mapping \(T\colon R\to R\) is called a left (right) centralizer if \(T(xy)=T(x)y\) (\(T(xy)=xT(y)\)) for all \(x,y\in R\). The author proves that if \(R\) is a \(2\)-torsionfree semiprime ring and \(T\colon R\to R\) is an additive mapping such that \(2T(x^2)=T(x)x+xT(x)\) for each \(x\in R\), then \(T\) is a left and right centralizer.
