Abstract

We identify some strong commutativity-preserving maps on semiprime rings. Among other results, we prove the following. (i) A centralizing homomorphism f of a semiprime ring R onto itself is strong commutativity preserving. (ii) A centralizing antihomomorphism f of a 2-torsion-free semiprime ring R onto itself is strong commutativity preserving.
