Bibliographical note
Funding Information:Now assume that a(x) = axa-1 for all x € R, a 6 R. Then by assumption, a2xa~2 = a* xa* for all x £ R. This implies that a*a2x = xa*a2 or a'aax — xa'a a = 0 for all x € R. Since a*a € Z(R), therefore rewriting the preceding equation we get ama(ax — xa) = 0 for all x 6 R. Since a"a is not a zero divisor, therefore ax = xa for all x 6 R and hence a is a central element. This proves that a = 1. The converse is simple. This completes the proof. • Acknowledgements. The authors wish to thank the referee for valuable suggestions which helped to improve the paper.
