Jordan $*$-derivations of incidence algebras

Rings and Algebras 2025-07-21 v1

Abstract

Let XX be a locally finite partially ordered set (poset), KK a field of characteristic not 2, and I(X,K)I(X,K) the incidence algebra over KK. In this paper, we prove that every Jordan *-derivation of I(X,K)I(X,K) is an inner *-derivation and a transposed Jordan *-derivation. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of Jordan *-derivations that are not *-derivations.
