Abstract: Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free $\sigma$-prime ring, $U$ a nonzero square closed $\sigma$-Lie ideal of $R$ and let $d$ be a derivation of $R$. In this paper it is shown that: 1) If $d$ is centralizing on $U$, then $d=0$ or $U\subseteq Z(R)$. 2) If either $d([x,y])=0$ for all $x,y\in U$, or $[d(x),d(y)]=0$ for all $x,y \in U$ and $d$ commutes with $\sigma$ on $U$, then $d=0$ or $U\subseteq Z(R)$.

Keywords: $\sigma$-prime ring, derivation, commutativity

Classification (MSC2000): 16W10, 16W25, 16U80
