Abstract

Let R be a 2-torsion free commutative ring with identity and Mn(R) (n ≥ 2) be the full matrix algebra over R. In this note, we prove that every nonlinear Lie triple derivation on Mn(R) is of the standard form, i. e. it can be expressed as a sum of an inner derivation, an additive induced derivation and a functional annihilating all second commutators of Mn(R). A open conjecture about Lie n-derivations is posed at the end of this note.
