%0 Journal Article %T A note on $(¦Á, ¦Â)$-higher derivations and their extensions to modules of quotients %A Lia Vas %A Charalampos Papachristou %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X We extend some recent results on the differentiability of torsion theories. In particular, we generalize the concept of $(\alpha, \beta)$-derivation to $(\alpha, \beta)$-higher derivation and demonstrate that a filter of a hereditary torsion theory that is invariant for $\alpha$ and $\beta$ is $(\alpha, \beta)$-higher derivation invariant. As a consequence, any higher derivation can be extended from a module to its module of quotients. Then, we show that any higher derivation extended to a module of quotients extends also to a module of quotients with respect to a larger torsion theory in such a way that these extensions agree. We also demonstrate these results hold for symmetric filters as well. We finish the paper with answers to two questions posed in [L. Va\s, Extending higher derivations to rings and modules of quotients, International Journal of Algebra, 2 (15) (2008), 711--731]. In particular, we present an example of a non-hereditary torsion theory that is not differential. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1009.2195v1
