Strong commutativity preserving maps on Lie ideals of semiprime rings

Abstract

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring and $U$ a nonzero square closed Lie ideal of $R$. In this paper it is shown that if $f$ is either an endomorphism or an antihomomorphism of $R$ such that $f(U)=U,$ then $f$ is strong commutativity preserving on $U$ if and only if $f$ is centralizing on $U.$
